Literature list on the Anglophone crisis and Internet shutdown in Cameroon

Hashtag used on social media to get the
Internet back in Anglophone Cameroon.

The Anglophone regions in Cameroon, the North West and South West, have experienced violent clashes in recent months following plans of the government to impose the use of French language in schools and courts. Protests have led to a shutdown of the Internet in these regions, including Bamenda, the country’s largest anglophone city, causing economic losses to small businesses and entrepreneurs, as well as highly limited access to information.

ASCL Community fellow Francis Nyamnjoh, who is a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Cape Town and a member of the editorial board of the Langaa Research and Publishing Group, compiled a list of relevant books providing background to the crisis.
