In this eclectic and compelling book, Ambanasom sets out to achieve three primary objectives: to introduce the reader to the extensive body of Cameroonian novels in English, to re-examine the distorting and limiting criteria upon which the critical assessment of the Cameroonian novel in English has so far been based, and to bridge the widening chasm between literary theory and actual critical practice. To achieve these objectives, Ambanasom begins by elaborating an alternative and flexible theoretical framework which he christens the 'Socio-Artistic Approach' and which, according to him, is 'concerned with both a text's thematic, moral, cultural or ideological issues, on the one hand, and its central literary analysis, on the other.' He then proceeds to use this new critical framework to examine twenty-seven major Cameroonian novels in English.
The edifice of colonial Africa starts cracking as the Black experience with colonialism becomes intimately personal. There is Martin Paul Samba, whose adopted German aristocratic home as a student does not consider him material for a son-in-law. There are also Prince Rudolph Douala Manga Bell and Dr Bele who go to school with Samba in Germany. And then, of course, Princess Zara, the youthful Amazon warrior who is rescued from a slave ship on the shores of Kamerun. Supported by the Douala princes, Martin Paul Samba champions the cause of the exploited, in a central drama pitting Kamerunian nationalism against German colonialism. This is the story of youthful endeavours and loves, of some of Africa's best and brightest, immediately before and after the First World War.

Takumbeng and Other Poems from Abakwa is a tribute to the Takumbeng in Cameroon. This collection of poems celebrates the prowess of the Takembeng, a militant female secret society in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. The poems address human rights violations, rape of democracy, misgovernment, and other forms of societal ills that plague post-colonial Cameroon. It is written in impeccable Standard English. The strength of the book resides in the vastness of the thematic terrain broached.
If our thoughts be butterflies, then our minds must flowers be! Thoughts are quiet. Thoughts are silent. Profoundly felt. Thoughts are ours. No one can stop them. No one can start them. No one can take them away. Thoughts make us. Even break us. What we dare to think is closer to us than even our breath. Our thoughts no matter how far from reality are the ultimate truth. They are the real us. This book is a celebration of thoughts; no matter how trivial or momentous, no matter how every day or exceptional, no matter how simple or complicated, no matter how scandalous or innocuous, no matter how inspiring or dissuading, no matter how fiery or frigid, no matter how heartening or disheartening, no matter how enlivening or dampening, no matter how exalting or humbling, no matter how logical or irrational, no matter how calm or chaotic, no matter how free or bound....... Like a child who chases butterflies, I have chased thoughts, to draw upon the nectar of life. It is never easy to capture something as free as a thought. I have had to become a flower to allow them to sit upon me and consume me. I have held them preciously, delicately on my petals and then set them free again to visit another flower, another mind. If not for our thoughts, our lives would have been lost in the chaos created by loud voices, The sanity of our thoughts often lies buried in the debris of wanting words and mindless chatter. Somewhere in these pages you might find one of your thoughts, which I found floating, flying, sailing, tumbling, wandering, meandering, flowing or maybe only sitting still in the space where thoughts are known to exist...... obliviously everywhere!
