  • Colonial Education System in Africa: the German Experience in Cameroon 1884­1916
    Sociology Study, May 2018, Vol. 8, No. 5, 220‐231 D doi: 10.17265/2159‐5526/2018.05.003 DAVID PUBLISHING Colonial Education System in Africa: The German Experience in Cameroon 1884­1916 René Ngek Monteha Abstract In early colonial times, European scientists and politicians explained and justified the aggressive and devastating expansion of Europe to nearly every corner of the world. Africans, for example, had been dehumanized, infantilized, and bereft of history. The legacy of this colonial enterprise can still be observed in various activities of the African especially in the domain of education. The German colonial effort only began in 1884 with the scramble for Africa but was short‐lived in their stay in Africa. As a result, they implemented their own form of education in their colonies in Africa and that was the case in Cameroon. In this sphere, the German colonial authority realized that they gained strength over colonized nations not only through physical control, but also through mental control. This mental control was carried out through their education system. The German educational goal in Cameroon, like elsewhere in Africa, was to expose Africans to a superior culture with the hope that education will usher the natives into the modern world and will make them more civilized. Captured from this background, this paper, in the first segment, analyze the political objectives of the German educational system in Cameroon with emphasis on their desire to extend overseas culture to the natives. Secondly, the characteristics of this educational system in the domains of school premises, teaching style, curriculum contents, and educational organization are examined.

  • Honor, Violence, Resistance and Conscription in Colonial Cameroon During the First World War
    Soldiers of their Own: Honor, Violence, Resistance and Conscription in Colonial Cameroon during the First World War by George Ndakwena Njung A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Rudolph (Butch) Ware III, Chair Professor Joshua Cole Associate Professor Michelle R. Moyd, Indiana University Professor Martin Murray © George Ndakwena Njung 2016 Dedication My mom, Fientih Kuoh, who never went to school; My wife, Esther; My kids, Kelsy, Michelle and George Jr. ii Acknowledgments When in the fall of 2011 I started the doctoral program in history at Michigan, I had a personal commitment and determination to finish in five years. I wanted to accomplish in reality a dream that began since 1995 when I first set foot in a university classroom for my undergraduate studies. I have met and interacted with many people along this journey, and without the support and collaboration of these individuals, my dream would be in abeyance. Of course, I can write ten pages here and still not be able to acknowledge all those individuals who are an integral part of my success story. But, the disservice of trying to acknowledge everybody and end up omitting some names is greater than the one of electing to acknowledge only a few by name. Those whose names are omitted must forgive my short memory and parsimony with words and names. To begin with, Professors Emmanuel Konde, Nicodemus Awasom, Drs Canute Ngwa, Mbu Ettangondop (deceased), wrote me outstanding references for my Ph.D.

I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 96,000 words. 3 Abstract This thesis discusses the previously unstudied treatment of German civilian internees and prisoners of war taken from the German colonies by British and Dominion authorities during the First World War. Through this study the links between the First World War in the extra-European theatre and the conflict in Europe will be examined. Five key issues are posited for investigation. These are: the centralised internment policy of the British Empire, the effect of the takeover of German colonies on the cultural identity of the British dominions, the effect wartime captivity had on German settlers, what extra-European internment tells us about twentieth century mobility and warfare, and the integration of the extra-European theatre of the war into the overall Global War narrative.

  • The Powerlessness of Cameroon's Reuniàcation Monuments
    The Powerlessness of Cameroon’s 5HXQLÀFDWLRQ0RQXPHQWV Joseph Lon NFI, PhD University of Buea Cameroon Abstract This study attempts to investigate the symbolism and popularity of the Reunification Monuments constructed in Yaounde and Mamfe some years after the political reunification of the two Cameroons. These monuments were constructed to commemorate the reunification of Cameroon, considered by many as the most significant event in postcolonial Cameroon history. This study intends to investigate why the monuments became victims of neglect, indifference and even scorn from Cameroonians only a few decades after reunification. An analysis of the data collected from interviews and secondary sources reveals that the monuments remain unpopular like the reunification history itself largely due to the failure of the powers that be to project this aspect of Cameroon history. The monuments have, therefore, remained powerless, as they have not immortalized the reunification of Cameroon, as is the case with reunification monuments elsewhere. Key Words Reunification, Monuments, Plebiscite, Southern Cameroons, Republique du Cameroun Introduction Cameroon became a German protectorate in July 1884 following the signing of the Germano-Duala Treaty between German traders and some Douala Chiefs along the coast of Cameroon. German administration in Cameroon ended in 1916 when Anglo-French forces defeated the Germans in the territory following the outbreak of the First World War in Europe in 1914. When the war ended in Cameroon, Britain and France decided to partition Cameroon into British and French dominated areas. In the partition, France received four- 125 fifths of the territory and Britain, the remaining one-fifth. The international community through the League of Nations recognised the partition and requested the powers to administer their respective areas as Mandate Territories of the League of Nations.

    Dans la série TEXTES INEDITS p ©Marie-Thérèse Assiga Ahanda. Prière de lire la notice sur la protection des droits d'auteur CHARLES ATANGANA est né en 1883, d'ATANGANA ESSOMBA et de NDONGO EDOA. Vers l'âge de 6 ans, il perd son père. En 1895, le petit Charles ATANGANA sera témoin des massacres des MVOG OTTOU lors de la rébellion d'OMGBA BISSOGO à MVOG BETSI. Ce sont les premières impressions pénibles qui forgeront son souci, son sens de médiation et de réconciliation. En effet, après une brève victoire surprise d'OMGBA BISSOGO, ZIMMERMANN s'est lancé dans une expédition punitive, avec le secours de BARTSCH - et de MULLER. Le petit ATANGANA est traumatisé de voir le vieil OMGBA BISSOGO, homme extrêmement fier et redouté, s'humilier en venant se constituer prisonnier au poste de YAOUNDE afin d'arrêter les massacres. En 1896, son oncle ESSOMBA NGONTI le confie au Major DOMINIK avec son cousin TSOUNGUI AKOA à la demande de l'Administrateur allemand qui veut former les premiers cadres Ewondo - ils sont 4 petits garçons Ewondo, dont Martin TABI NNANA de Mvog ADA - et Michel ONANA. Charles ATANGANA rejoindra les trois autres partis six mois plus tôt à Kribi à l'Ecole des Pères Pallotins. Il est en compagnie du Major DOMINIK qui doit prendre le bateau pour un séjour en Allemagne. Très vite, il rattrape les autres, et non seulement il est premier de sa classe, mais il recevra aussi le baptême le premier. Vers la fin de l'année 1899, les études sont brutalement interrompues par la révolte des Bulus qui envahissent Kribi.

Die Ausstellung präsentiert einen Querschnitt dieser Überlieferung. Dabei werden nicht nur die Jahrzehnte der deutschen Kolonialzeit berücksichtigt, sondern exemplarisch auch die vielgestaltigen, aber vielleicht weniger bekannten Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und Kamerun während der hundert darauffolgenden Jahre. Der Titel dieser Ausstellung ist angelehnt an das Anti- Koloniallied „Was treiben wir Deutschen in Afrika?“. Es erschien bereits 1898 in einem „Demokratischen Liederbuch“ und karikiert mit sarkastischen Worten die oft zitierte „Kulturmission“ der europäischen Kolonialmächte in Afrika. Noch heute kann der Text zum Nachdenken über den Umgang miteinander anregen. 2 Introduction Les Archives fédérales allemandes (Bundesarchiv) conservent

You will ever remain in my heart. To my special friend and Sister Carole Vicent for her strong words of encouragement and support you gave me at the time I mostly needed, you have been there for me from the beginning of the struggle to this very last moments, I want to thank you for the love care and concern throughout this period.
