Le pouvoir traditionnel en contexte pluraliste au Cameroun : la déconstruction des liens familiaux entre« frères » Bamoun à partir des clivages politiques
Abstract
Political pluralism in Cameroon, marked by freedoms in many forms, has contributed to reinforcing divisions within families, while undermining traditional authority. Taking the Noun as a field of observation in the western Cameroon region, it is a question of grasping the reconfigurations of political modes of action, where political interests have been placed above family ties. Therefore, political participation becomes an important factor in deconstruction and (re) construction of ties, whether family or social, hindering in a profound way, development initiatives that could benefit the whole community.
