Extractions: Chercheur au CIREPE Résumé During the past five years, the democratization process, aided by an ailing economy, has torn my country into pieces. Old ethnic and socio-cultural cleavages, which were buried in the fear of the one-party state, have suddenly reappeared with such menacing force that the very foundation of my country's nationhood is today in serious jeopardy. (Bama 1995:11) These lucid words tempt any analysis to ask the question how after more than thirty-six years of independence, Cameroon leaders have consolidated national unity by providing the state with a solid foundation. This analytical probing is necessitated by the sharp ruralization of ethnicity and ethnic conflicts in the 1990s. Ethnicity and ethnic conflicts are phenomena usually associated with urban settings. In urban areas the ethnic symbol, like the religious, can easily be manipulated by members of the ruling class. And it may therefore be essential to explain why under certain socio-political conditions like multipartism in Cameroon, ethnic conflict has become a more appealing tool of political mobilization. The reason is obvious.

He is the dominant figure in the history of Bangwa during the past 100 years and for that reason he will sometimes appear in what follows. After having fought off a rival claimant, Asonganyi succeeded his father, Fontem Atshemabo, about the year 1889 while still only in his teens. He developed his position as a middleman in the trade economy between the grasslands and the forest area to its full potential and quickly became very wealthy. Through alliances, guile and plain old violence Asonganyi absorbed many of the previously independent local chiefs into his chiefdom, Lebang, making it the largest in all of Bangwa, modelling it and himself much more closely on the lines of the Bamileke kingdoms and their powerful rulers, the Fons. He made extensive use of the traditional societies, particularly Troh and Lefem , as a means of creating greater social and political control over his chiefdom and introduced many others which had previously never been seen, borrowing from not just grassland culture but also forest cultures as well. Between 1896 and 1900 he also led wars against the neighbouring

Extractions: Nyamnjoh@yahoo.com Paper Prepared for CODESRIAs 10 TH General Assembly on "Africa in the New Millennium", Kampala, Uganda, 8-12 December 2002. Introduction assumed to be primitive, repressive and unchanging in character. Chieftaincy, these theories suggest, would always look to the past for inspiration in the service of exploitation and marginalisation by the highhandedness of African states. Within these frameworks, chieftaincy is seldom credited with the ability to liberate or to work in tune with popular expectations. The tendency in these partial theories to focus analysis almost exclusively upon institutional and constitutional arrangements, assumes the classical dichotomy between ascription and achievement and takes as given that stated rules should actually determine the careers of actors in the public arena (Comaroff 1978:1). are not (thanks to dogmatic and normative assumptions of mainstream scholarship) but very little of what they actually are (Mbembe 2001:9). In other words, scholars on Africa ought to demonstrate less might and more right by being sensitive in theory and practice to the predicaments and realities of Africans as bearers and makers of history.
