THE ANGLOPHONE PROBLEM: IMPASSE AND SUGGESTIONS FOR A SOLUTION; References; Index 330 $aThis is a significant and timely book on the politics of belonging. It captures, with fascinating detail and insight, the current widespread disaffection with the sterile rhetoric of nation-building that has characterised much of postcolonial African politics. Until the liberation struggles of the 1990s, dictatorship only paid lip service to democracy with impunity, often by silencing those perceived to threaten national unity. Since then, individuals and groups have reactivated claims to rights and entitlements and nowhere more so than in Cameroon. The book articulates the experiences and predicaments of the country's Anglophone community trapped in a marriage of inconvenience pregnant with tensions and conflicts. 410 0$aAfrika-Studiecentrum Series ;$v1. 517 3 $aA Study of the Politics of Recognition and Representation in Cameroon 606 $aEnglish language$xPolitical aspects$zCameroon 606 $aEnglish language$xPolitical aspects 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPolitical aspects 606 $aPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aEnglish language$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aPolitics and government. 676 $a306.44/96711 700 $aKonings$b Piet$0301034 702 $aNyamnjoh$b Francis B. 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449887803321 996 $aNegotiating an Anglophone Identity$92487386 997 $aUNINA
