Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Gender, Separatist Politics, and Embodied Nationalism in Cameroon by Jacqueline-Bethel Tchouta Mougoué Fresh insights into gendered politics in Cameroon FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Gender, Separatist Politics, and Embodied Nationalism in Cameroon illuminates how issues of ideal womanhood shaped the Anglophone Cameroonian nationalist movement in the first decade of independence in Cameroon, a west-central African country. Drawing upon history, political science, gender studies, and feminist epistemologies, the book examines how formally educated women sought to protect the cultural values and the self-determination of the Anglophone Cameroonian state as Francophone Cameroon prepared to dismantle the federal republic. The book defines and uses the concept of embodied nationalism to illustrate the political importance of womens everyday behavior--the clothes they wore, the foods they cooked, whether they gossiped, and their deference to their husbands. The result, in this fascinating approach, reveals that West Cameroon, which included English-speaking areas, was a progressive and autonomous nation. The authors sources include oral interviews and archival records such as womens newspaper advice columns, Cameroons first cooking book, and the first novel published by an Anglophone Cameroonian woman. Author Biography Jacqueline-Bethel Tchouta Mougoué is Assistant Professor of Gender & Sexuality in African Cultural Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Review "Gender, Separatist Politics, and Embodied Nationalism in Cameroon is important for all scholars of West and Central African decolonization, especially for those working on Cameroon and Nigeria. In general, the language applied provides a level of readability appropriate for both graduate students and scholars. For researchers of affective nationalism, the work offers a well-read analysis of new examples of embodied processes." - Journal of West African History -- "Journal of West African History""Vividly written, rich in materials, keen in analysis, this book is perfect for the advanced undergraduate and graduate syllabus as well as for researchers." --Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute--Pamela Feldman-Savelsberg, Carleton College "Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute""In many postcolonial African contexts, nationalism has been pivotal to the process of imagining and building a nation-state that fuses a desire for (mainly Western) modernity with an emphasis on a kind of cultural distinctiveness--a dialectic that engenders a complex relation between gender and the nation-state. This is the fundamental concern of Jacqueline-Bethel Mougoués Gender, Separatist Politics, and Embodied Nationalism in Cameroon (University of Michigan Press, 2019), a scholarly tour de force that weaves a detailed narrative of the agency, creativity and complicity of womens politics within a postcolonial nation building agenda during the "Golden Age" of Cameroonian politics." --AfricanFeminism--Nancy Henaku "African Feminism" (11/9/2020 12:00:00 AM)"Mougoué makes significant contributions to the history of Cameroon, to our understanding of the potential emergence of secessionist movements in Africa, to the way in which gender relations play a role in such historical developments, and to the history of women and girls in Anglophone Africa. Gender, Separatist Politics, and Embodied Nationalism in Cameroon is excellent; it is a joy to read." --Gretchen Bauer, University of Delaware Review Quote "Mougou Details ISBN047207413X Year 2019 ISBN-10 047207413X ISBN-13 9780472074136 Format Hardcover Place of Publication Ann Arbor Country of Publication United States Series African Perspectives DEWEY 305.40967110 Language English DOI 3998/mpub.9955202 AU Release Date 2019-11-01 NZ Release Date 2019-11-01 UK Release Date 2019-10-30 Author Jacqueline-Bethel Tchouta Mougoué US Release Date 2019-10-30 Pages 346 Publisher University of Michigan Press Publication Date 2019-11-01 Imprint University of Michigan Press Illustrations Illustrations Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
