The Homo Economicus in Cameroon: A View From Below
This chapter proposes a reading of the Cameroonian economy based on an economic agent’s view from below. Its intent is to cast complementary light on the conceptual, theoretical and empirical analyses constituting most of this work.

Figures du « paria conscient: Autour de Fabien Eboussi Boulaga

Littératures nationales et instances de légitimation: L'exemple du Cameroun
Quels critères employer pour définir ce qui constitue la spécificité littéraire d'un pays en particulier?

La littérature camerounaise, au-delà d'une spécificité certaine, est exemplaire de plusieurs régions du continent. On y perçoit deux pôles de légitimation : l'un int…
Mongo Beti and the Responsibility of the African Intellectual
Someday, the history of the African intellectual must be written. The confusion created by this term in numerous debates on the continent is such that it will not be simple for those who would like to launch this project to easily untangle the web.
