No Trifling Matter is a collection of controversial, critical weekly commentary on the reluctance of a monolithic regime to yield to popular aspirations for democracy in Cameroon. In these essays written between 1990 and November 1992, Godfrey Tangwa, alias Rotcod Gobata, doesn't quibble. He comes across as a man of courage and resolve; one ready to swim upstream in a manner of a desperate midwife eager to prevent a still birth (in this case, of democracy). His column is as daring an embarrassment to Biyaís ìdÈmocratie avancÈeî as the radio programme ìCameroon Reportî (later ìCameroon Callingî

Der "Westen" gehört zu den bedeutendsten Begriffen des internationalen politischen Vokabulars im 20. Jahrhundert. An der langen Jahrhundertwende wurde er in Europa und den USA in markanter Weise geprägt: als Begriff der kolonialen Zivilisierungsmission und als Gegenpart zu einem mit dem russischen Autokratismus assoziierten "Osten". Im "Westen" verorteten die imperialen Großmächte ihre angeblich überlegene "Zivilisation"; mit ihrer proklamierten Zivilisierungsmission rechtfertigten sie koloniale Herrschaft und Gewalt. Während des Ersten Weltkriegs wurde der "Westen" zum Schlagwort der Alliierten, besonders nach dem Kriegseintritt der USA, während Deutschland seine Ablehnung gegenüber "Westlertum" und "westlicher Demokratie" kultivierte. Im Begriff des "Westens" kristallisierte sich die Ambivalenz der Moderne.

This book explores connections between Atlantic studies and (trans)Pacific studies, including the potential discursive, topical, and historical overlaps of the two fields. It carves out mutual concerns and theoretical affinities, but also divergent approaches and differences. While acknowledging the fundamental differences that characterize the individual fields, the essays in this volume examine how both Atlantic and (trans)Pacific studies are part of global currents of political, activist, artistic, economic, and academic exchange. This volume brings together voices from Europe, North America, and the Pacific with disciplinary backgrounds in history, culture, and literature. Directed at scholars with a background in (trans)Pacific and/or Atlantic studies, this collection is an attempt to stimulate exchange between the two fields, to intensify their impact within the current transnational focus of literary and cultural studies, to encourage the questioning of well-mapped paths of inquiry, and to outline new theoretical approaches to both fields. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Atlantic Studies.

"The chapters in this edited volume open up new vistas in the debate about how we could fashion a consensual democracy that minimizes the adversarial element of the majoritarian democracy African countries inherited from their colonial masters. The first chapter summarises the consensus debate as it currently stands. This chapter atones for what strangers to this field have missed up until this book. The second chapter acknowledges that the advancement of consensus democracy as unanimity democracy is out of favour, and explores the potential for advancing consensus democracy as a democracy of compromise. This is followed by a chapter exploring the implications of Wiredu's consensual proposal for the building of resistance movements. The volume also features an interesting piece seeking to demonstrate that Wiredu's consensus proposal is consistent with his views about the relativity of truth, and how we should handle this relativity. But there are chapters demonstrating that the non party system proposed by Kwasi Wiredu is unsuitable for practice, and other chapters tracing the problems associated with transferring consensus-supporting values such as communalism into the contemporary Africa setting"--
