Memoirs of Mbororo. The Life of Ndudi Umaru: Fulani Nomad of Cameroon
This remarkable book recounts the life of Ndudi Umaru, a pastoral nomadic Fulani, who was born in the Nigeria-Cameroon border zone, but spent most of his life in Cameroon where he was treated for leprosy. Left to his own devices at an early age - his illness having separated him from his kith and kin - Ndudi was befriended by Pere Bocquene, a French missionary who took him on as a field assistant. Working closely with the young man, Pere Bocquene…
Indian Country, God's Country: Native Americans and the National Parks
African Crossroads: Intersections Between History and Anthropology in Cameroon
The Politics of Cultural Difference in Northern Cameroon
This study, based on research spanning 25 years, focuses on the shifting patterns of social assimilation and exclusion that have characterised the inter-ethnic relations of this region for almost two centuries. The analysis is brought right up to the 1990s when the decline of the Cameroon state, linked with World Bank structural adjustment policies as well as the growing importance of ethnic associations, NGOs and international bodies has had a m…
From Pastoralist to Politician: The Problem of a Fulbe « Aristocracy
P. Burnham & M. Last - Des pasteurs aux dignitaires : la question de l'aristocratie fulбe. Le terme « aristocrate » est souvent utilisé pour distinguer les Fulbe qui gouvernaient les émirats et les lamidats du Califat de Sokoto au XIXe siècle de leurs parents restés pasteurs. Cet article tente de montrer que cette distinction est inadéquate. En effet, nombre de détenteurs de charge loin d'être des aristocrates étaient choisis parmi les peuples va…

L'ethnie, la religion et l'État: Le rôle des Peuls dans la vie politique et sociale du Nord-Cameroun
La question générale de l'articulation entre les structures socioculturelles locales et celles, englobantes, de l'État moderne est examinée à la lumière du cas peul au Nord-Cameroun. L'ethnicité peule, enjeu important, est considérée à travers deux variantes historiques : celle, très incorporée, des Peuls sédentaires, et celle, très distinctive, des pasteurs peuls. Les diverses modalités par lesquelles des identités ethniques se transforment vers…

Slavery in Mauritania
Karnu's Message and the 'War of the Hoe Handle: Interpreting a Central African resistance movement
IntroductionIn writing the history of the Gbaya-speaking peoples, a group of some half-million population inhabiting east-central Cameroon and the western third of the Central African Republic, we are seldom able to recount the careers of famous individuals, and genealogical charters which link present leaders with long-dead heroes are uncommon. For the most part, in the pre-colonial and early colonial periods, the Gbaya were not organized politi…

Regroupement’ and mobile societies: Two Cameroon cases
This paper is a comparative study of the impact of colonial rule on two African societies, the Gbaya and the pastoral Fulani, inhabiting the Adamawa Plateau in central Cameroon. The main discussion focuses on the difficulties experienced by the French in their attempts to administer these two politically uncentralized and geographically mobile peoples. Geographical mobility was not the result of population pressure or other ecological constraint …
