Youth, Associational Life and Civic Engagement in Northern Cameroon
This article analyses the ways in which youths in Northern Cameroon have been able to access social citizenship. Tracing the nature of this access over an extended period - from the early 1990s to the mid-2020s - I underline the importance of youth civic engagement through associational life. Associational life is a hidden or covert way of engaging in politics, and leads to a reinvention of their interaction with hegemonic power, as they are not …
If You make these People Literate, You are undressing Me!”
This article discusses Jean-Marc Ela’s contribution to Kirdi empowerment in Tokombéré, Northern Cameroon, during the period 1970 and 1984. Drawing on ethnographic data, in-depth interviews and historical biography approach, the article argues that through a mixed methodology of fun, education and critical discourse towards authorities, Ela worked towards the awaking of the subalterns’ consciousness in Tokombéré
Neotoponymy, Appropriation of Space and Youth Political Expression in Tokombéré, Northern Cameroon (1970-2011)
Using the example of neotoponyms proliferation in Tokombéré (Northern Cameroon) between 1970 and 2011, this paper questions the banal tactics of naming places as a site of public patriarchy contestation. In fact, young people play a crucial role in reinventing local political power forms of interpellation, which enables them to symbolically reappropriate the space. This helps to establish their presence in the public sphere from which they have b…
Rupture coloniale, pouvoir des mots et vocabulaire politique des subalternes à Tokombéré (Nord Cameroun)
Les interactions entre les peuples des Monts Mandara ont été marquées par un hégémonisme cyclique en faveur des groupes islamisés depuis le Jihad de 1806, qui a eu pour conséquence majeure la résistance des montagnards. Cet article explore les formes plurielles de remise en cause du legs colonial politico-culturel islamo-peul et français développées par les subalternes à Tokombéré entre 1984 et 2011. Ainsi, il établit que le recours à un vocabula…
Catholic Missionary Work and 'Political' Support
This paper studies how the Tokombéré Youth Centre, a secular place attached to the Roman Catholic Church, has led to the political formation of young people in Tokombéré, northern Cameroon. This is a place of socialisation that grew from the missionaries' work, and which has politically guided youth since 1974 through an awakening based on empowerment and self-reliance. The Centre, with its members structured within a 'government,' has helped fos…
