My Vision for Cameroon

This should be a captivating book both for the author's compatriots and beyond. From the Prologue, devoted to a « risky » sketch of the moral portrait of the Cameroonian, to an annex presenting some Proposals for Action, through the four chapters (1. Cameroon as an idea, ethnic groups and the nation-state ; 2. State power ; 3. The field of development ; 4. Cameroon in Africa and in the world), Njoh Mouellé analyses, criticises in the sense of evaluating pro and contra the situation, and ends up formulating argued proposals based on first-hand information. The text glitters with powerful and mobilising formulas one cannot help mentioning a few : « On certain great occasions, the idea of Cameroon has indeed illuminated the conscience of compatriots with patriotism. These illuminations must cease to be sporadic and occasional, to become « daily and permanent » ; or the following : « Cameroon cannot radiate abroad if, in the heart of Cameroonians, it does not first radiate ». As it was the case for Député de la nation , the book My Vision for Cameroon captures and keeps the reader in suspense.
