Book Synopsis

The Bakweri people of Mount Cameroon, an active volcano on the coast of West Africa a few degrees north of the equator, have had a varied and at times exciting history which has brought them into contact, not only with other West African peoples, but with merchants, missionaries, soldiers and administrators from Portugal, Holland, England, Jamaica, Sweden, Germany and more recently France.

“… a true treasure… challenging example of how history and anthropology can be combined in practice… such a combination can offer a deeper understanding of present-day issues and tensions.” • Africa
