Encounter, Transformation and Identity

Drawing together key historical and innovative ethnographic materials for the peoples of the South-West Province of Cameroon and the Nigerian borderlands this volume presents critical and analytical approaches to the production of ethnic, political, religious, and gendered identities in the region. It deals with a range of issues relating to identity including first encounters and conflict as well as global networking, trans-national families, enculturation, gender, resistance, and death. In addition to a number of very striking illustrations of ethnographic and material culture, this volume contains maps from early German sources and other original cartographical materials.
