Of citizenship, public spaces and national imagining in Cameroon
Deepening democracy in Africa
Democracy as zeitgeist has spawned a growth industry in the academy. Africa, once a source of inspiration for theory building for Western scholars,1 has largely passed ‘below the radar’ in current theoretical debates, even as a source of case study. Because of its indocility, it is assumed that Africa missed ‘the modernization train and was left stranded on the platform’. The implicit subtext here is that a lack of a cultural resonance explains t…
The Mortuary Sphere, Privilege and the Politics of Belonging in Contemporary Cameroon
Concern with new modes of accountability has foregrounded the politics of belonging, giving prominence to the concepts of autochthony and allogeny. In Cameroon, this has provoked a shift in policy-making from an earlier distinction between the disciplined citizen and the subject. Despite this distinction, all Cameroonians were considered rights-bearing citizens in the early post- Independence era and as such could settle anywhere in the country a…

African Universities in Crisis and the Promotion of a Democratic Culture
This article argues that education in Africa, from colonial times to the postcolony, has been the victim of various forms of violence, the most devastating of which is the violence of cultural and political conversion: externally and internally driven initiatives and processes intended to domesticate, harness, transform, alter, remodel, adapt, or reconstruct Africa and Africans through schools and universities to suit new ways of being, seeing, d…
Scholarship Production in Cameroon
Cameroonians saw a positive correlation between the enactment of the Liberty Laws in the early 1990s, the increase in the number of tertiary institutions, and the contribution of its universities to worldwide intellectual endeavors. Nevertheless, as the history of the University of Buea shows, the university space, instead of becoming free, became instead a space of domination. Universities discourage critical scholarship and collaboration, haras…
