Bag om Power and Marginality in Contemporary Cameroonian Orature
Power and Marginality in Contemporary Cameroonian Orature is an important book in the development of Cameroon literary criticism with reference to orature. With a particular accent on popular songs/ protest music, Professor Emeritus Kashim Ibrahim Tala's perceptive analysis invites the readers to see the socio-economic inequities of the Cameroonian society, its material/historical reality. If one adds this significant critical work on orature to the existing major critical works on written Cameroon literature in English, one comes close to having a comprehensive picture of Anglophone Cameroon literary criticism as exists today. It is a text that every student, researcher, and scholar of Cameroon literature should possess. Professor Shadrach Ambanasom, The University of Bamenda
