Abstract:
Ethnicity, Food, and Politics: The Example of the Yasa in the Cameroonian South Province In Cameroon, ethnicity is present in food as well as in anthroponymy. Neighbouring populations use it to auto-identify themselves and to indicate their spatial settlement. The ‘leaves’eaters’, the ‘crabs’eaters’ and the ‘“fruits de l’arbre à pain”-eaters’ live together in peace on the Coast of the country by assuming their ethnicity. They even take over new political and administrative structures as guide mark in self presentation. Even the political power who officially tries to 'erase' ethnicity is not able to compose without it. Ethnicity has become a political strategy and is being mobilized or demobilized to balance or control the power.

Abstract:
Relations between colonial and post-colonial studies in and on Cameroon have been both continuous and discontinuous. As reflected in the domains of historiography and social anthropology, this has impacted on ethnic self-representations and popular labeling. This paper examines contrasting drives that have led to a replication of colonial redefinitions of ethnicity and how this informs current discussions on ethnicity in Cameroon. The argument is that certain research works have informed or substantially influenced the identity question when one aknowledges that the colonial period is a bench mark epoch in the establishment of certain categories of ethnic perception. Although substantially deconstructed at the scientific level, these categories have survived and continue to influence social categories of perception that become common sense intrusions (what Bourdieu called doxa) into social science.

Abstract:
We are pleased to bring you this 2001 edition of African Issues—a double issue that represents our initiation as the journal’s editors. This edition is devoted to an examination of ethnicity, arguably the most resilient and resurgent paradigm in African studies. The authors have explored the activation, manipulation, uses, and abuses of ethnicity in the context of competitive elections and struggles for power in Africa. We have assembled a nice mix of articles suggestive of the complexities inherent in the notion and practices of ethnicity, from Mauritania to Kenya, from Ethiopia to Cameroon and points in between. We hope that these articles will stimulate discussion and greater appreciation of the intersection of ethnicity, constitution making, recent competitive elections, and democratization around the continent.

Abstract:
Nurturing Cameroon’s fledgling democracy is proving a herculean task against the backdrop of disintegrative forces: flawed electoral process, ethnicity, identity consciousness, clientelism, endemic corruption, regionalism and neopatrimonialism inherent in the state apparatus. The undercurrents on the interface of statehood in Cameroon’s democratization process from the ’90s are explored. There is an enormous gulf between the state and the masses with the elite playing a prominent role in political sloganeering and regionalism, leading to a heightened sense of exclusion. The bureaucratic ethos still remains largely centralised despite the discourses on decentralisation. The simmering Anglophone problem is still brushed aside. The paper illuminates on the disruption and fragmentation of national politics which has led to the emergence of identity and ethnic constructions in the search for belonging to the polity. The question of legitimacy and civic participation is largely distorted due to the disinterestedness of the populace in the state machinery. This is rendered more fluid by the manipulative tendencies of the regime, ruling elite and a fractured opposition. The fundamental question is whether Cameroon was adequately prepared for multiparty politics. Rekindling Cameroon’s botched democratic process hinges on the institutionalisation of consensus building, democratic accountability and participative governance.

Abstract:
The relationship between material culture and ethnicity is an important topic of social science research, but review of the literature shows that archaeologists were more interested in ceramics and to a certain extent in metals and mortuary practices. Other material artefacts such as basketry or architecture attracted little attention, while elsewhere it has been shown that variations in techniques and architectural forms are used to emphasize or to disrupt ethnic distinctions. The Mandara data presented here and collected among three different ethnic groups (Podokwo, Muktele, Mura) show that houses are considered as more important compared to other material artefacts when one comes to speak about ethnicity. People used material practices related to houses to establish specific social parameters so as to differentiate themselves from others (e.g. the Podokwo), as a way to regulate marital relationships (e.g. the Muktele), and as a means to articulate cultural practices that determine interrelationships among rival clans (e.g. the Mura).

Abstract:
AbstractWhile many analysts assume that the autocratic regime of Paul Biya is deeply unpopular amongst ordinary Cameroonians, there is almost no existing analysis of public opinion in Cameroon. In fact, Cameroonians are deeply divided in their beliefs about politics; while many view the government as democratic and legitimate, others see the regime as entirely autocratic. What explains these fundamental divides in beliefs? While existing theories point to demographic factors as the most important predictors of political opinions, this article argues that in autocratic regimes, political geography is even more important to understanding these divides. Political parties in autocratic regimes develop opposite narratives about the legitimacy of the state, and regardless of education, partisanship, age, or ethnicity, citizens living in party strongholds are far more likely to adopt these narratives than citizens outside of strongholds. Understanding these divides is critical to explaining regime legitimisation in Cameroon, and African autocracies more broadly.

Abstract:
A la limite entre le Cameroun et le Nigéria, la région du Faro est une zone d’extraordinaire diversité, tant du point de vue des populations que de la topographie. Pas moins de 13 groupes ethnolinguistiques y sont documentés, qui appartiennent à 3 grands ensembles linguistiques et se répartissent dans la plaine et les montagnes. Les données de la linguistique indiquent que les représentants des langues adamaoua seraient présents dans la plaine de la Bénoué et du Faro depuis environ quatre mille ans. Au niveau de l'ethnohistoire, on sait que les habitants des plaines sous soumis à l’autorité des Foulbé depuis deux siècles. Mais au delà de cette période, de nombreuses zones d'ombre demeurent. L’histoire des populations de cette partie du bassin de la Bénoué avant le 19ème siècle semblait donc hors d’atteinte, car la région du Faro restait vierge du point de vue archéologique.

Dans ce travail, j’apporte par le biais d'une approche historique et comparative des éléments susceptible d’expliquer, d’une part la complexité qui caractérise le peuplement du Faro et, d’autre part, la façon dont le peuplement de cette région a évolué au cours du dernier millénaire. Il est également question de faire progresser la réflexion méthodologique, en évaluant la façon dont les modèles obtenus par l’archéologie peuvent être confrontés avec ceux qui se basent sur les traditions orales, les éléments de la culture matérielle actuelle et la linguistique.

L’étude des traditions orales a permis de classer par ordre chronologique les éléments historiques importants et d’établir une histoire du peuplement durant ces derniers siècles. Elle confirme qu’il est possible de reconnaître des racines remontant au delà du 19ème siècle à la plupart des groupes qui peuplent encore la région aujourd’hui, ainsi que de nombreuses ruptures dans l’histoire du peuplement du Faro. Contrairement aux travaux antérieurs, la plus importante de ces fractures date du début du 19ème siècle, avec l’occupation des conquérants foulbé, qui ont provoqué l’insécurité généralisée, la division de la région en deux et les plus importantes déportations de populations des plaines vers les montagnes refuges.

L’approche archéologique a permis d’établir la première séquence chrono-culturelle du Faro au cours du dernier millénaire. Si la présence d’un peuplement ancien dans la plaine était envisagée, l’étude archéologique apporte la preuve que des communautés humaines vivent dans le Faro depuis environ 1000 ans. A partir du 15ème siècle, des modifications surviennent. Celles-ci se manifestent surtout par l’apparition d’une nouvelle poterie ornée au Blepharis sp. Lorsque l’on compare la carte de distribution des sites associés à cette céramique, au trajet suivi par les Bata, qui remontent le cours du Faro en implantant des villages et à l’aire d’extension des langues tchadiques au Faro, il semble plausible que de nouvelles populations occupent la région vers le milieu du dernier millénaire de notre ère. Pour le 19ème siècle bien documenté par les traditions orales, les données archéologiques viennent renforcer l’idée d’une profonde rupture durant cette période.

En abordant l’histoire du peuplement du Faro, il était nécessaire d’examiner le concept de l’ethnicité comme il est classiquement employé dans la région. D’une manière générale, l’étude conforte l’idée qu’il est très difficile d’aborder la profondeur historique des identités des groupes actuels.

La confrontation entre les faits des cultures vivantes et les résultats archéologiques a permis d’évaluer les potentialités de raisonnements historique et comparatif. On ne peut que constater, dans cet exemple concret, le grand intérêt qu’il y a à fonder la reconstitution du passé sur de multiples sources.

Abstract:
Les plantations industrielles sont aujourd’hui le premier secteur d’emploi privé au Cameroun, et couvrent d’immenses surfaces. En les prenant pour objet, la thèse cherche à relever le défi de comprendre la formation du politique et de l’État en rapport avec les processus sociaux et les matérialités (notamment celles liées à la production) qui les contraignent et les configurent. Pour cela elle s’appuie dans une première partie sur une description sociologique de la main-d’œuvre (ouvrières et ouvriers, encadrement local et expatrié). L’activité de travail, le régime de paye et le sens pris par l’argent numéraire, l’expérience corporéisée qu’ils alimentent, mais aussi les trajectoires et styles de vie, sont passés au crible afin d’éclairer la fabrique locale des identités, les solidarités comme les dynamiques de différenciation et de distinction. Masculinités et féminités, ethnicités, couleur de la peau, capital scolaire ou encore accès à la petite propriété nourrissent ces dernières, sont mobilisés ou subis par les entreprises. La thèse prouve que les travailleur.se.s des plantations sont inscrit.e.s de plain-pied dans un ensemble plus vaste, celui formé par les classes populaires, dont elle participe à l’exploration. La deuxième partie montre alors que les grandes plantations ne sont pas des enclaves échappant au territoire national. Établir leur ordre productif leur demande un effort constant, réinventé au fil du temps, pour construire leur main-d’œuvre (y compris les cadres, des dominant.e.s qui s’y sentent souvent à l’étroit) mais aussi leur emprise sur l’espace. Cet effort, quotidiennement en butte avec diverses relativisations, est constitutif des plantations en tant qu’organisations. De même ces dernières sont-elles dépendantes de leur intégration dans un ordre politique plus vaste, qu’elles contribuent à former localement du fait des multiples antagonismes suscités par leur activité, et des arènes de négociation comme des manières d’« appeler l’État » qu’ils génèrent. C’est le cas en particulier des conflits fonciers et de ceux liés au travail, qui fournissent les ressources politiques nécessaires à l’édification de positions de représentants. Les grandes plantations contribuent donc à l’édification de topographies politiques certes singulières, mais qui forment localement les racines sociales de l’État. En témoignant de la politisation intense de ce qui s’y joue, la thèse suggère que la place des lieux de travail et des enjeux liés à l’emploi a été sous-estimée dans l’étude de la société politique camerounaise contemporaine. Nourrie par une longue enquête dans trois complexes agroindustriels, elle repose également sur la mise en dialogue d’apports issus de la sociologie et de l’anthropologie du travail, du genre, des classes populaires, des organisations, du foncier et de l’État
Industrial plantations are currently Cameroon’s first private employment sector, and cover huge areas. Drawing on labour and organizational studies as well as political sociology, the thesis shows how much these peculiar spaces, often described as closed enclaves subject to desertification, are constrained by social processes and contribute to State-formation. To this end it gives special attention to material realities, life trajectories and social conflicts. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to a sociological description of the labour force, rank and file of workers but also members of management. It explores the experiences of labouring bodies, the social meanings of money, lifestyles, solidarities and social differentiations in order to portray the wide diversity of workers. It shows that gender (both womanhood and manhood), ethnicity, race, education or land possession are all imported and reshaped inside the plantation. The dissertation questions plantation workers’ trajectories and imaginaries, showing how such a labour force is deeply integrated within a wider whole, the Cameroonian working classes. The second part of the thesis shows how large estates participate in shaping both the Cameroonian territory and the current political order. Understood as organizations that are constantly in the making, these companies are manufactured by evolving spatial constraints, as well as constant labour shortages and conflicts. Plantations must then contend on a daily basis with numerous forms of resistance and contestation to maintain their geographical area and build their labour force. Land and employment issues are core to the making of the peculiar political topographies through which industrial plantations contribute to State formation in Cameroon. In that sense, the thesis suggests that the creative political role plaid by workplaces and labour issues have been underestimated in the study of land grabbing and of contemporary African societies. On a more theoretical level, the thesis, which builds upon a long-run ethnographic immersion in three agro-industrial plants, puts into discussion contributions from sociology and anthropology around labour, working classes, organizations, land and State

Abstract:
Esta tesis presenta una etnografía multisituada, complementada por una aproximación a la etnografía virtual, que explora las conexiones que se establecen entre de la comunidad mbororo en Camerún y aquellos/as mbororo que, después de iniciar un trayecto migratorio transnacional, actualmente residen en Europa, siendo éste un fenómeno bastante reciente entre la sociedad mbororo. Para poder relacionar experiencias entre Camerún y Europa, se ha propuesto una lectura desde un marco interseccional, dando cuenta de variabilidad de categorías sociales que determinan la configuración de experiencias de la identidad, y ahondando en una perspectiva que rompa con retóricas esencialistas entorno a la etnicidad. Los pastores mbororo de Camerún han sido reconocidos como población indígena en base a los criterios establecidos por la Comisión Africana de los Derechos Humanos y de los Pueblos, órgano dependiente de la Unión Africana, siguiendo los principios de la Convención 169 de la OIT y la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas. Paralelamente, los mbororo forman parte del gran bloque etnolingüístico peul, presente en toda la zona sudano-saheliana, y desde Mauritania hasta República Centroafricana. De este modo la identificación como pueblo indígena en Camerún, en contraste con otros grupos peul presentes en el país, permiten reconocer ciertas dinámicas de fortalecimiento de fronteras culturales, canalizadas por un gran movimiento asociativo que ha redefinido un discurso de exclusividad étnica en términos de derechos humanos y de ciudadanía. A pesar de la fortaleza del discurso sociopolítico de la comunidad mbororo en Camerún, los resultados preliminares de la etnografía transnacional constatan una debilitación de los vínculos con la comunidad de origen. Todo ello, más que mostrar una desconexión, ha permitido observar la expresión de una etnicidad como proceso identitario en transformación, en el que los sujetos se adhieren a referentes culturales de manera contextual, visibilizando que la experiencia identitaria debe aprehendida desde la contingencia. La tesis contribuye a los estudios sobre identidad y etnicidad y resitúa a los/as mbororo lejos de la figura mítica y ancestral del peul nómada y pastor, para aprehenderlos como sujetos agentes en la representación de su experiencia étnica.
Based on a multi-sited ethnography with a complementary virtual fieldwork, this thesis explores the connections among those Mbororo in Cameroon and those whom, after a transnational migration journey, dwell in Europe. Methodologically, in order to entangle the experiences in Cameroon and in Europe, the thesis suggests an intersectional approach while rendering the variability of social categories that surround the experiences of identity while deepening in a perspective that breaks with essencializing rhetorics of ethnicity. Mbororo pastoralists of Cameroon have been recognized as indigenous population according to the criteria established by African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights. This latter being part of the African Union and following the 169 Convention of the ILO and The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Mbororo are part of the Fulani ethnolinguistic blog of the great south-sahelian area from Mauritania to Central African Republic. The identification as indigenous people in Cameroon in contrast to other Peul groups in the country, allows Cameroonian Mbororo to strengthen their cultural frontiers, this latter promoted by a vibrant associational movement which has (re)defined their ethnic particularism into human rights and citizenship rhetoric. In spite of the strength of the sociopolitical discourse of the Mbororo community in Cameroon, the preliminary results of this multi-sited ethnography confirm a debilitation of the ties with the original community in the moment of migration. Instead of describing this debilitation as a form of disconnection, the thesis argues for a notion of ethnicity as an identity process in transformation. It understands the experience of identity from the contingency in which subjects adopt cultural benchmarks according to their contextual needs and anxieties. On the whole, the thesis contributes to identity and ethnicity studies by approaching the Mbororo as agentive representatives of their own ethnic experience.

Full text
Abstract:
Notre recherche doctorale repose sur la volonté de comprendre comment les firmes multinationales implantées au Cameroun prennent en compte la dimension ethnique dans leurs pratiques de GRH. Dans le contexte actuel de la mondialisation, le modèle de culture nationale se révèle peu approprié pour analyser des phénomènes micro-culturels qui s’immiscent et influencent les modes de gestion des organisations. Un exemple typique en est le concept d’ethnicité qui est retenu dans cette recherche pour analyser le management interculturel des ressources humaines. Une étude de cas réalisée sur trois multinationales françaises de secteurs d’activité différents, mobilisant entretiens, observations in-situ et sources documentaires, nous a permis de cerner la place de l'ethnicité dans la GRH et son rôle dans la gestion du climat social. Les résultats montrent les limites de l’harmonisation des pratiques de GRH et des outils de gestion au plan local en raison du poids important des éléments de la culture ethnique. L’ethnicité apparaît de manière informelle dans les dispositifs de GRH où son incursion implicite a une incidence négative et/ou positive sur le climat social et in fine sur la performance de la firme. Les résultats laissent entendre que cette dimension ethnique ne devrait plus être occultée et gagnerait à être intégrée de manière plus formalisée, et contrôlable, dans les dispositifs du management interculturel des hommes. A l’issue de cette recherche, nous proposons de dépasser l’opposition duale entre universalisme et contingence et faire évoluer le débat, via l’ethnicité, vers l’hybridation des pratiques, des comportements et des modes de management
Our doctoral study is based on our will to understand how multinational companies settled in Cameroon combine the ethnical dimension with their practices of management of human resources. In the present context of globalization, the model of national culture is hardly convenient to apprehend different micro-cultural phenomenons which get through and influence the ways of management of firms. As for typical example is the concept of ethnicity, which is hold in this study to analyse the intercultural management of human resources. A case study realised upon three French multinationals evolving in different activities sectors, involving interviews, observations in situ and documentary sources, to define the place of ethnicity in human resources management and its part into the gestion of the social environment. Results show the limits of the harmonisation of HRM practices at a local level due to the important weight of ethnical culture elements. Ethnicity appears in an informal way in HRM patterns where its implicit intrusion has a positive and/or negative incidence on the social climate and in fine on to the performance of the firm. Results show that this ethnical dimension must not be blinded any longer and should be beneficial to be formally accepted and integrated in a more formal and controllable way, in the patterns of intercultural management of men. At the publication of this study, we propose to get beyond the dual opposition between universalism and contingency and make evolve the debate, through ethnicity towards the hybridation of practices, behaviours and management modes

Abstract:
This investigation into a process of transformation was intended to explore the institution of African sacral rule in its relation to the Christian church and to provide a theological model, which could be used to establish a new mission field. The bulk of the work has been conducted through anthropological and historical methods crossing international boundaries and cultures within both sacral rule and the Christian church in Africa. The specific case studies have been the sacral rule of Grassfields people in Cameroon and the Akan in Ghana with focus on the Basel Mission and resulting churches. On the one hand, this comparative approach brought to light in-depth knowledge of the sacral ruler's encounter with the institution of the Christian church and its representatives. On the other hand, the investigation shows that with some preconceived ideas of sacral rule inherited from the missionaries who had established themselves in deliberate rejection of the existing system of government and the people involved, the African church leaders were put at a disadvantage. However, it has been demonstrated that in the process of struggle for survival and change, each institution has been partially assimilated by the· other. Those who have helped these two institutions to deepen their relationship through a genuine dialogue are outstanding Christians who occupied the position of sacral rulers in both Cameroon and Ghana. They have provided historical material on which an understanding of the cultural changes within sacral rule as well as the Christian church was based. The previous religious experience and knowledge of the sacral rulers are invariably used as a frame of reference for their understanding and interpretation of the Bible and their relationship with Christ.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines the issue of ethnocentrism that has become so detrimental to Christian unity within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Cameroon, as it is pulling apart Christians of different ethnic groups. The study puts forward the indigenous practice of Mang-Djala as a possible indigenous resource that can be used as an added value not only in enhancing the Christian understanding of unity, but also in advocating for peace, justice and reconciliation in ordinary social life. In this regard, the study investigates the possibility of Mang-Djala functioning in the secular sense as social contract and in a religious sense as covenant. The study argues that the rejection of African cultures by the colonisers and the first missionaries was a big mistake, and that the Gospel needs to be incarnated in every culture and context. Contextualization therefore needs to be used to integrate African cultures and the Gospel. Hence, the study posits that Mang-Djala is a preparation for the Gospel, which can be defined as anything within a culture that can become an entry point, facilitating the transmission, clarifying the understanding of the Gospel and allowing the openness of the local people to that Gospel. The basic research question of the study is: in view of the challenges being presented to church and society by ethnic diversity in Cameroon is there a possibility that the indigenous concept of Mang-Djala may act as a reconciling or unifying agent? The study suggests that the concept of Mang-Djala should be introduced into the church at different levels via its structures in order to popularise it and integrate it into the church‘s theology and practice. In this way, the ethnic groups that are not accustomed to the concept will come to understand and appropriate it, as a new paradigm of understanding and living the Gospel of unity. The problem of ethnicity and the possibility of using Mang-Djala as a possible antidote needs to be introduced as part of the training of the clergy. Other institutions in the church where it could be introduced are The Women for Christ Fellowship and the Christian youth organisation. It should also be introduced at synodical level. More importantly, the study suggests that the Church should create and insert in its constitution a clause that should declare ethnocentrism a sin against which every Christian should stand because it promotes discrimination which is against God‘s commandment of love. The study also acknowledges, however, that Mang-Djala should not be considered as an ultimate solution to the problems posed by ethnocentrism.

Abstract:
AbstractIt is a widely accepted notion that climate change affects men and women within agrarian populations differently; consequently, their adaptation strategies are gendered. Besides climate change, women’s vulnerability and their corresponding adaptation strategies are embedded within a complex web of social identities/status, agroecological location, gender norm/roles and power struggles within the plurality of normative orders governing land (property rights). This chapter focuses on Cameroon and seeks to analyze how the interactions between various normative orders governing access to land, co-dependent upon the multiple gendered identities (intersectionality), impact climate change adaptation strategies of female farmers. The results show that the degree of vulnerability and adaptation strategies of women are context specific and gendered across the five distinct agroecological zones of Cameroon. Furthermore, secured access to and ownership over land is crucial in determining the adaptation choices and options available to female farmers. A complex mix of state and non-state norms govern property rights in Cameroon, within which women have to constantly negotiate their land claims. These negotiations are influenced by marital status, ethnicity, educational level, and community/social relations, such that the outcome translates differently for women within the Muslim, Anglophone, and Francophone communities. The chapter concludes with context-specific recommendations to strengthen the adaptive capacity of agrarian women across Cameroon.
