Using an ethnographic historical approach and drawing on the intricacies of what it has meant to be and belong in Kom- an ethnic community in the Northwest Region of Cameroon - since 1800, he explores the discourses and practices of kfaang as central to any understanding of mobility and modernity in Kom, Cameroon and Africa at large. The book unveils the emic understanding of modernity through the history and ethnography of kfaang and its technologies and illustrates how these terminologies were conceived and perceived by the Kom people in their social and physical mobilities. It documents and analyzes the historical processes involved in bringing about and making kfaang a defining feature of everyday life in Kom and among Kom subjects. 606 $aEthnology$zCameroon 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEthnology 676 $a967.11 700 $aNkwi$b Gam$0988079 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461017703321 996 $aAfrican modernities and mobilities$92259402 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04363nam 2200673Ia 450 001 9910455601103321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-62870-097-1 010 $a1-282-75986-8 010 $a9786612759864 010 $a1-84816-363-0 035 $a(CKB)2490000000001666 035 $a(StDuBDS)AH24682619 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000415720 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11259384 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000415720 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10416098 035 $a(PQKB)10065984 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1681546 035 $a(WSP)00002052 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1681546 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10422409 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL275986 035 $a(OCoLC)729020338 035 $a(EXLCZ)992490000000001666 100 $a20091117d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aDesign of pile foundations in liquefiable soils$b[electronic resource] /$fGopal Madabhushi, Joanathan Knappett, Stuart Haigh 210 $aLondon $cImperial College Press$dc2010 215 $a1 online resource (xiv, 217 p. ) $cill.
