This collection of essays by eminent historians and anthropologists summarizes three generations of research in Cameroon that began with the collaboration of Phyllis Kaberry and E. M. Chilver soon after the Second World War and continues to this day. The idea for this book arose from a concern to recognize the continuing influence of E. M. Chilver on a wide variety of social, historical, political and economic studies. The result is a volume with a broad historical scope yet one that also focuses on major contemporary theoretical issues such as the meaning and construction of ethnic identities and the anthropological study of historical processes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tFor more information on this title and related publications, go to\u003cbr\u003e \thttp:\/\/lucy.ukc.ac.uk\/Chilver\/index.html\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"... it is worth saluting Berghahn, the publisher that produces the Cameroon Studies series. This undertaking, which now runs to five volumes (with more on the way) is a wonderful resource for English-speaking students of Cameroonian history. Not only are these books well produced with plentiful illustrations, but they are also reasonably priced. They will form some of the canonical texts for Camerooon studies for years to come, and Cameroonists are very lucky to have such a supportive publisher... Cameroonists now have a whole group of newly available primary sources, elegantly set in context and ready for interpretation.\" African Affairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e The Catalyst: Chilver at the Crossroads\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eS.
