The Economy of Humanitarianism
The asymmetry between the donors and the beneficiaries makes it almost impossible to engage in a meaningful conversation about egalitarian relationships in the field of humanitarian intervention. Most of the misunderstandings are not unrelated to this lopsided configuration. This chapter analyzes the contradictions of humanitarianism as a benevolent approach to nation-building in Cameroon and beyond. Section 2 focuses on the globalization of huma…
The Anglophone question
During the 2018 annual meeting of the African Studies Association, the North American Association of Scholars on Cameroon organized a roundtable on the Anglophone crisis. The question we were charged with exploring in this roundtable read as follows: “Did the ‘Anglophone’ Protest of 2016–2017 Represent a Significant Turning Point in the Struggle for Rights in Cameroon's English-Speaking Regions?” The rights of English-Speaking Cameroonians, I sug…
In praise of my mentors and mentees
Mentoring represents an Institution of the African literature association. Consolidating this great tradition begins, for every member, to express gratitude to the mentors of the past and present. Translating this appreciation into action supposes a commitment to guide young generations of scholars who are the future of the association
Abiola Irele and the anti-Négritude 1 generation
ABSTARCTIn this article, I read Abiola F. Irele’s “In Praise of Alienation” as a departure from the “going native” cultural nationalism that was sparked by the black renaissance cultural movements, including the African and Caribbean francophone movement of Négritude. “In Praise of Alienation” appears as a manifestation of the anxieties expressed by an entire generation in the face of the collapse of the dreams sparked by the anticolonial struggl…
La ‘mutilation anthropologique’ et le réalignement de la littérature camerounaise Cilas Kemedjio
I argue in this article that the postcolonial existential wound, otherwise referred to by Eboussi Boulaga as the anthropological mutilation, represents the intertextual nexus that bridges the generational gap in Francophone Cameroonian literature. The tragic malaise, rooted in absurdity and the dire state of the postcolonial condition, echoes anxieties expressed by earlier generations of Cameroonian writers in the 1950s about engaged literature. …

Imaginaires de la dpartementalisation
This essay analyses the texts of Glissant and Confiant to explore the consequences of departementalization on the representation of Africa in the Antillean imagination. The patient and methodic exploration of Africa allows Glissant to produce a critical and complex perspective on Africa whereas Confiant, following up on the theorized indifference promoted by Crolit towards Africa, does not distance himself from a stereotypical representation of t…
Postcolonial Mythologies
The movements for cultural and political emancipation that led to the abolition of slavery as well as the independences grew out of a charismatic scenario, which in this essay means that the struggle for freedom was centered around a charismatic figure. Postcolonial mythologies are thus to be understood as an attempt to re-appropriate decolonization through the formulation of a new imaginary in the postcolony. The present study intends to analyze…
L'arrière-pays contre la violence coloniale
Selon le penseur martiniquais Édouard Glissant, l'arrière-pays culturel et physique constitue une ressource de résistance qui provoque une reconfiguration autant de la conquête coloniale que de son impact sur les communautés colonisées. Cet arrière-pays définit les modalités d'une résistance le plus souvent non violente aux aventures de dépossession initiées par la colonisation. Il est souvent en soi une résistance inscrite dans le paysage cultur…

Les Antillais Du Front National Sont Des Victimes De La Lépenisation
Founding-Ancestors and Intertextuality in Francophone Caribbean Literature and Criticism
Negritude, the claim of Africa as matrix, is an affirmation of identity that finds its full significance in the context of the black world. The rehabilitation of the Storyteller as ancestor of cultural practices in societies born out of the plantation situates Creolite in the heart of the Caribbean archipelago. Negritude and Creolite thus appear as the two essential components of an achipelagic consciousness that, at the level of literary critici…
Glissant's Africas
Africa's disillusionment with its independences has set the continent in a series of contradictions and problems that have left in their wake bloody tyrannies, interminable civil wars, cyclical famines, or unspeakable genocides that often threaten the very survival of entire com? munities. The postcolonial ravages experienced in Haiti and the other independent countries of the Antilles and Africa are turning the tomor? rows of decolonization into…
