Description

Book Synopsis
The young people of the Cameroon Grassfields have been subject to a long history of violence and political marginalization. This book deals with their response to centuries of exploitation. It focuses on the repeated violent revolts staged by young victims of political oppression.

Trade Review
"Nicolas Argenti succeeds in doing justice to the uncanny tension evoked by the youth masquerades of Oku and their haunting performances. He offers challenging contributions to the study of dance, the indeterminacy of memory, and the actuality of the slave trade." - Peter Geschiere, University of Amsterdam"
