CAMEROON STUDIES
African Crossroads: Intersections between History and Anthropology in Cameroon
paperback (ISBN 1-57181-926-6).
In this volume, editors Ian Fowler and David Zeitlyn have brought together
Cameroonian and Cameroonist anthropologists and historians to celebrate the
contributions of ethnographer-historian Elizabeth Chilver. In her own
interdisciplinary work and in her collaborations with Phyllis Kaberry from the
1940’s, Chilver mined missionaries’, administrators’ and traders’ documents long
before it was fashionable to do so. Chilver integrated this material with ethnographic evidence to shed light on pre-colonial political hierarchies and religion, and to reconstruct the historical processes by which Africans and Europeans negotiated colonial rule in the Cameroonian Grassfields. She also helped to facilitate a lively dialogue between Cameroonian and Cameroonist scholars and to incorporate the concerns of non-academic Africans into scholarly debates about Cameroon’s past (pp.xii-xv).

UNIVERSITY OF YAOUNDE II,
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.

CHAPTER 3 THE MAJOR SOCIAL CHANGES
IN BANGWA SOCIETY AND CULTURE 1889 TO 1993 c.1889 to 1898 THE PRE-COLONIAL PERIO D
Fontem Asonganyi is perhaps the most interesting of all the paramount chiefs to have ruled in the Bangwa area. 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

The Journal of the "Pilgrim Virgins"
n° 2 - august 1998

The prayer surrounding the "Pilgrim Virgins" would be one of the answers to the request of the church and of Pope John Paul II who invited us to prepare the great 2000 years in prayer, with the Virgin Mary, as a "New Advent."
This movement is like a new Visitation of Mary to all her children in the world in order to help them to love and know her son, Jesus.
It is also a prayer, with Her, as with the Apostles in the Upper Room, for all the Peoples to be brought together in Mary's Immaculate Heart and pray to the Lord to send the "New Love of Pentecost" that the world is expecting. The strength and beauty of this prayer for Unity and Peace is gathering momentum with the extension of the project, whose goal is to assemble all Christians, Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants of all countries. Already 98 countries have welcomed or are getting ready to welcome very soon the Pilgrim Virgin :
Angola, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Benin, Belarusse, Burma, Bolivia, Bosnia, Botswana, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burundi, Cameroon, Canada, Central Africa, Chile, Columbia, Congo (ex - Zaire), Czechoslovakia, Croatia, Cuba, Denmark, Egypt, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Faroe Islands, France, Gabon, Germany, Ghana, Greenland, Guadalupe, Guatemala, Haiti, Holland, Hungary, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Ivory Coast, Jordan, Kenya, Lesotho, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Madagascar, Malaysia, Malawi, Mali, Malta, Martinique, Mauritius, Mexico, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, New Caledonia, Norway, Pakistan, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Reunion, Romania, El Salvador, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Tanzania, Taiwan,, Thailand, Togo, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela, Vietnam, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

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.
