Porcupine in a Pythons Throat is a valuable contribution to understanding the choices and constraints facing Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia) people and the people of Republique du Cameroun. It challenges the Westphalian sovereignty of authority and argues that it is unworkable in plural societies.

Publisher: Lexington Books


Through narrating the politics and everyday life in ex-British Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia), Porcupine in a Pythons Throat makes 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.
