orig. boards. ix,210,(5) pp, 24x15cm, , Series: International African Library, 17. "This text examines the ethnicity/nationality debate in Africa through a detailed study of the historical sources and modern transformations of inter-ethnic social relations in the culturally-diverse northern region of Cameroon. Loss of control by the centre and inter-communal violence is a recurring theme in the recent histories of Africa, and Cameroon is no exception. The book examines emergent themes in modern African politics such as: the impact of post-Cold War pressures for multi-party democracy and increased human rights; the increasing importance in politics of indigenous NGOs and ethnic associations; and the impact of Islamic movements on politics.
