Some of the data obtained from another study sponsored by the African Development Foundation (ADF) on "the impact of the devaluation of the CFA franc within the first 24 months following the devaluation of January 1994" are also integrated into this analysis. While this support is hereby acknowledged, the authors claim ownership of the ideas expressed in this paper. Abstract This paper analyzes the traps and triumphs (benefits) of peasant agriculture in the Bamileke region of Cameroon after the devaluation of the CFA Franc in January 1994. Using empirical data collected between 1992 and 1994, this study shows that 1990 was the turning point in the lives of agricultural producers in Cameroon in general, and the peasant coffee producers of the Western High lands of Cameroon in particular. Commodity prices on the world market improved to the satisfaction, albeit short-lived, of producers of primary products such as cocoa and coffee.

Extractions: Reunification discourse has generated controversy in Cameroon since the 1990s and hinges on the issue of the degree of commitment of Anglophone and Francophone Cameroonians to its realization. This essay provides a chronological, comprehensive, and critical survey of the reunification question. Often only part of the history is presented, either inadvertently or deliberately. It is argued in this essay that reunification was a minority ideology conned largely to the Cameroon people of the Southwestern quadrant. That notwithstanding, its chief proponents were Francophones who conceived it, propagated it, and sustained it until the United Nations recognized it in the 1960s. The 1961 reunification of the British Southern Cameroons and the former French Cameroons was an extraordinary event, as peoples of different colonial backgrounds decided to form a single state. It presented a countercurrent in postcolonial Africa to the prevailing trend of the balkanization of old political unions or blocs.

Extractions: The 1996 constitution and the politics of belonging in the 1990s might have institutionalised and intensified the sense of divisions among Anglophones, but this by no means implies that the Machiavellian designs of the Francophone-dominated state for asphyxiating Anglophone identity started then. Indeed, the manipulation of ethnic and regional rivalries to divide and rule the Anglophones, among others, is a long-standing strategy in national politics (Bayart 1979). As we have argued elsewhere (Konings and Nyamnjoh 1997), contrary to Anglophone ex-pec-tations upon re-unification, federalism, far from providing for equal partnership between Anglophones and Francophon

Dekar, Niswonger Professor of Evangelism and Missions, Memphis Theological Seminary, 168 East Parkway South, Memphis TN USA 38104. (c) Paul R. Dekar After three years of United States government and church service in Cameroon, Dekar wrote a Ph.D. thesis on Presbyterian work in Cameroon (University of Chicago, 1978). From 1976-1995 he taught at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Books include For the Healing of the Nations (Macon: Smyth and Helwys, 1993) and Holy Boldness: Practices of an Evangelistic Lifestyle (Macon: Smyth and Helwys, in press). Abstract This article surveys West Africa outreach between 1841-1888 by the London-based Baptist Missionary Society (hereafter BMS) and the Kingston-based Jamaican Baptist Missionary Society (hereafter JBMS). Documentation focuses on responses of mission board leaders, missionaries, the local Creole community and African Christians to the reality of growing interference by European powers and the imposition of colonial rule on the region. This case study elucidates the complex role of missionaries in the process by which the West came to exercise political and economic domination of Africa. It complements a survey of the role of black Americans in the Protestant missionary movement in Africa.(1) Introduction This study explores the complex role of missionaries in the process by which the West came to exercise political and economic domination of Africa.

Extractions: Independence: 1 January 1960 (from United Nations (UN) trusteeship under French administration). Since the Republic of Cameroon was declared in 1972, Cameroon has had only two presidents. Ahmadou Ahidjo, a Northern Muslim, took office in 1960 and in 1966 established a one-party authoritarian state. He ruled until 1982, when, after a visit to France during which he was told he was terminally ill, he resigned in favour of his southern Christian Prime Minister, Paul Biya. After attempted coups (inspired by Ahidjo, who regretted relinquishing power) in 1983 and 1984, Biya dismantled the opposition. Bowing to domestic and international pressure, Biya instituted reforms in 1990, but unrest and strikes continued into 1991. Presidential and parliamentary elections, in which 32 parties contested seats, were held in 1992 but were boycotted in large numbers and the results were disputed. Biya retains his office as President.

Extractions: Trans 13. Nr. April 2003 George Echu (Yaounde) Cameroon is a linguistic paradise comprising 247 indigenous languages, Pidgin English and two official languages (English and French). This figure, advanced by Breton and Fohtung's (1991) study, is re-echoed by Boum Ndongo-Semengue and Sadembouo (1999). Yet it appears to be relatively conservative when one takes into consideration the recent statistics published by SIL International (2002) in Ethnologue which credits Cameroon with 279 indigenous languages, English, French and Cameroon Pidgin English (CPE). If we agree with Jean-Louis Roy (1993) that Africa possesses a little over 1000 indigenous languages, then Cameroon's number alone could be considered really impressive, whether one goes for the older conservative figure or the most recent one. As concerns the influence of indigenous languages on the official languages, it is important to observe that the language contact situation in Cameroon has resulted in influences from various levels of linguistic structure - phonological, lexical, morphological, syntactic, etc. Our main concern in this study is relexification or lexical borrowing from the indigenous languages (donor languages) to the official languages (recipient languages)
