CIGc20081 online resource (201 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9956-558-62-1 Includes bibliographical references (p. 183-187).Preface -- Note to the reader -- Imperialism and postcolonial Africa in perspective -- Ahmadou Ahidjo, independence, and the hidden agenda -- Government and the status quo in Cameroon -- The Cameroonian people : an abused blessing -- Cameroonian resources and the exploitation of the masses -- Of uniformed officers and the state of anomy -- Towards a renaissance : what must be done -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Works cited.Africa?s Political Wastelands explores and confirms the fact that because of irresponsible, corrupt, selfish, and unpatriotic kleptocrats parading as leaders, the ultimate breakdown of order has become the norm in African nations, especially those south of the Sahara. The result is the virtual annihilation of once thriving and proud nations along with the citizenry who are transformed into wretches, vagrants, and in the extreme, refugees. Doh uses Cameroon as an exemplary microcosm to make this point while still holding imperialist ambitions largely responsible for the status quo in Africa.
