In Search of Salt

"Relatively recent Bantu-speaking migrants to central Cameroon, the Beti have had an eventful history. Based on extensive interviews and traditional Beti (Fang) poetry, in addition to German and French archival sources, the author of this readable study recreates the social structure of the Beti and their self-perceptions in pre-colonial times, their disruptive encounters with first German (1880-1918) and then French (1918-1960) colonialism, until Cameroon's independence."--Jacket.

המשפט הראשון: For the Beti, the earliest recollections of their history begin with the flight across the Sanaga River, the main body of water traversing Beti lands.
