The End of French Rule in Cameroon is a study of the decolonization movement in Cameroon. It analyzes the reforms introduced by France in Cameroon after World War II, the circumstances surrounding the unsuccessful attempt of the UPC to seize independence by force, and the subsequent eradication of this party by an alliance of Franco-Cameroonian forces. The book shows the length that the French were prepared to go in order to leave Cameroon in the hands of a government that would be sympathetic to their interests. The research is based upon documents found in Cameroon, France, and the United States. It will expand the existing limited literature in English on the historiography of Cameroon and will also be useful for instructors teaching courses related to modern and contemporary Africa in general and decolonization in (French) black Africa in particular, as well as all interested in these subjects.
Martin Atangana is associate professor of history at York College and The Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He received his Ph.D. in history at the University of Paris-Sorbonne. He is the author of Capitalisme et Nationalisme au Cameroun au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale; French Investment in Colonial Cameroon; and scholarly articles on Franco-Cameroonian relations.
