About the Book

Through narrating the politics and everyday life in ex-British Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia), Porcupine in a Python’s Throatmakes an invaluable contribution to understanding the choices and constraints facing both Southern Cameroons’ (Ambazonia) people, and the people of Republique du Cameroun. The volume illustrates how the people of ex-British Southern Cameroons’ (Ambazonia) seek alternatives to the cycles of repression and state terrorism turned into reprisal, retaliation and a genocidal war from 2016. This volume challenges the authorities over delimited territories and their inhabitants in states arbitrarily put together and held together by external power and control. The editor and contributors argue that the Westphalian sovereignty of authority as indivisible in postcolonial and other settings is unworkable, and does not last very long in plural societies put together and sustained with the use of force.

Review :
Porcupine in a Python's Throat is a collection of essays that diagnoses and prescribes an urgent but complex surgical operation in British Southern Cameroons aka Ambazonia, a self-governing territory with recognized international boundaries in former British West Africa, that Great Britain and the United Nations considered 'expendable' at independence in 1961. This volume of very well-written essays tells the cruel experiences of the betrayal and colonial subjugation of the people of the region for decades, with a global conspiracy of silence. In an era of renewed rhetoric on freedoms, independence and democratization, the book echoes the clarion call of Frantz Fanon while being very immediate and pertinent to those non-nation-states which currently struggle for freedom and recognition. It is a great resource for those interested in postcolonial independence movements and highly recommended for scholars and practitioners in the fields of international relations, political science, peace and conflict studies, history, international law, sociology, human services, and security studies.
