Development interventions often generate contradictions around
questions of who benefits from development and which communities
are targeted for intervention. This book examines how the Baka, who
live in Eastern Cameroon, assert forms of belonging in order to
participate in development interventions, and how community life is
shaped and reshaped through these interventions. Often referred to
as 'forest people', the Baka have witnessed many recent development
interventions that include competing and contradictory policies
such as 'civilize', assimilate and integrate the Baka into 'full
citizenship', conserve the forest and wildlife resources, and
preserve indigenous cultures at the verge of extinction.
