A Dictionary of Popular Bali Names is an exceptional minefield of
Chamba names, meticulously assembled and expatiated for the curious
user. As a pioneer in the field of dictionary-writing in the
Cameroon grassfields, Fokwangs third edition counts for more than a
regular dictionary. It skilfully combines a short history of the
Chamba people in Cameroon as well as ethnographic issues on the
naming ritual. John Fokwangs work stands in a class of its own and
will serve as reference material for people of Chamba descent and
those who favour the use of African names in general. This edition
is an exceptionally worthy contribution to the ethnography of the
Cameroon grassfields and of course, the growing literature and
interest on African names and languages.
