Overview
Political scholars in Cameroon, elsewhere in Africa, and the US look at how the problems of the continent as a whole are encapsulated in the country. Among the problems they identify are underdevelopment amidst plenty, Structural Adjustment Programs and poverty, a flawed transition to democracy, and the politicization of football and popular music. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, ORSynopsis
Pulling together a group of Cameroon experts and Africanists, this book is a critical, comprehensive assessment of post-colonial Cameroon's struggle at nation-building, governance, democracy and economic development in a multiethnic state and society in which even _non-political_ issues (e.g., football or soccer and popular music) are politicized.
