9783496028116: Traditional Institutions in Kembong (Cameroon): 11 (Baessler Archiv - Beitrage Zur Volkerkunde)

Synopsis

Egalitarian societies belong to the most important political systems of old Africa. They could seldom claim that, however, as they were assessed as chaotic and backward by the colonial powers. Nevertheless, in south-west Cameroon, the Ejagham, in spite of all modern influences, have kept the significant elements of their old culture. The foundations of the egalitarian system, to which all hierarchical tendencies were suspect, were maintained by the Ejagham throughout the long colonial era. Hans-Joachim Koloss succeeded in studying, in Kembong, the capital of the region, the essential aspects of the society and world-view of this small and, until now, little-known race of people and in portraying them in an extensive series of photographs.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Die Grundlagen des egalitären politischen Systems, dem alle hierarchischen Tendenzen suspekt waren, sind bei den Ejagham durch die lange Kolonialzeit hindurch erhalten geblieben. Auch die Frauen besaßen hier mehr Entfaltungsmöglichkeiten als in vielen anderen Teilen Afrikas. Wichtige Entscheidungen werden in der Dorfversammlung getroffen und die Macht der Ahnen sowie die der gefürchteten Hexen sind trotz Christianisierung weitgehend ungebrochen. Die Geheimgesellschaften haben ihre Bedeutung behalten und sind - unter Verwendung ihrer spektakulären Masken - zuständig für Aufgaben der sozialen und politischen Kontrolle, für die Abwehr und Verfolgung gefährlicher und feindlicher Mächte und für die Organisation und Gestaltung der großen Totenfeste, die immer noch der Tradition entsprechend begangen werden. Hans-Joachim Koloss ist es gelungen, in Kembong, dem Hauptort der Region, Gesellschaft und Weltbild dieser kleinen und bislang wenig bekannten Ethnie in ihren wesentlichen Bereichen zu studieren und anhand einer umfangreichen Fotodokumentation darzustellen.
