Cameroon is characterized by an extraordinary geographical,
cultural, and linguistic diversity. This collection of essays by
eminent historians and anthropologists summarizes three generations
of research in Cameroon that began with the collaboration of
Phyllis Kaberry and E. M. Chilver soon after the Second World War
and continues to this day. The idea for this book arose from a
concern to recognize the continuing influence of E. M. Chilver on a
wide variety of social, historical, political and economic studies.
The result is a volume with a broad historical scope yet one that
also focuses on major contemporary theoretical issues such as the
meaning and construction of ethnic identities and the
anthropological study of historical processes. For more information

Bringing together key historical and innovative ethnographic
materials on the peoples of the South-West Province of Cameroon and
the Nigerian borderlands, this volume presents critical and
analytical approaches to the production of ethnic, political,
religious, and gendered identities in the region. The contributors
examine a range of issues relating to identity, including first
encounters and conflict as well as global networking,
trans-national families, enculturation, gender, resistance, and
death. In addition to a number of very striking illustrations of
ethnographic and material culture, this volume contains key maps
from early German sources and other original cartographical
materials.
