{"product_id":"masks-and-staffs-michaela-pelican-9781782387282","title":"Masks and Staffs: Identity Politics in the Cameroon Grassfields","description":"\u003cp\u003e The Cameroon Grassfields, home to three ethnic groups - Grassfields societies, Mbororo, and Hausa - provide a valuable case study for the anthropological examination of identity politics and interethnic relations. In the midst of the political liberalization of Cameroon in the late 1990s and 2000s, local responses to political and legal changes took the form of a series of performative and discursive expressions of ethnicity. Confrontational encounters stimulated by economic and political rivalry, as well as socially integrative processes, transformed collective self-understanding in Cameroon in conjunction with recent global discourses on human, minority, and indigenous rights. The book provides a vital contribution to the study of ethnicity, conflict, and social change in the anthropology of Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michaela Pelican\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782387285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782387282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Michaela Pelican","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938000339199,"sku":"9781782387282","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_73cbb185-36b7-4c0a-a5cb-889786c85381.jpg?v=1681433159","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/masks-and-staffs-michaela-pelican-9781782387282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
