Constructing the Kwanja of Adamawa (Cameroon) - Essay in Fractal Anthropology (Paperback)

The Kwanja is a small ethnic group of 10,000 people living in Adamawa, Cameroon. The present monograph describes their bilineal kinship system, political structures, oral history, moral economy, rituals, cosmologies and world view. The book discusses the way the Kwanja construct themselves as homogenous despite their astonishing cultural diversity, and how they construct themselves as different from their neighbors despite the cultural traits that they share in common.
