Victor Le Vine�s Shorter Cameroon Writings, 1961-2007

From his first research there in 1959 until shortly before his death in 2010, Victor Le Vine was a major Cameroon scholar. What he wrote during Cameroon�s first half-century of independence carries implications for the years ahead. This volume introduces and presents eight of his short writings, 1961-2007, five never previously published. They demonstrate his mastery of the intricacies and the sweep of the�country�s governance history, and both his own and Cameroon�s�importance for African Studies at large.
