Cameroon stands as a remarkable example of nation-building in the
aftermath of European domination. Split between the French and
British empires after World War I, it experienced a unique drive
for self-determination at the turn of the 1960s, culminating in
both independence from European power and the re-unification of two
of its divided territories. This book investigates the influence of
foreign policy on nation-building in West Africa in the context of
both the Cold War and European integration. Shedding fresh light on
the challenges of bridging the political, economic and linguistic
divide that France and Britain had left, Melanie Torrent explores
the evolution of a nation, charting both Cameroon's importance in
Franco-British relations and Cameroon's use of bilateral and
multilateral diplomacy in asserting its independence. This work
should be essential reading for students of African studies,
International Relations and the post-colonial world.
