The Past As Prologue Essays On Cameroon (1980-1995)

$12.00Price
  • The Past as Prologue brings together under one collection a number of polemical essays written between 1980 and 1995. These essays were published in various newspapers and news magazines (local as well as foreign). In these essays, the author stakes out his position on some of the burning issues of the day, at a time when freedom of speech, amongst other fundamental freedoms, were in short supply in Cameroon and those who dared to openly criticize either the Ahidjo’s regime or the successor, Biya’s administration, were labeled “subversives” and condemned as “unpatriotic”, earning them a stay in one of the country’s notorious detention centers or worse.
