Book<br />
Rituals in Cameroon <strong>Dr</strong>ama: A Semiological Interpret<strong>at</strong>ion of <strong>the</strong> plays of Gilbert<br />
Doho, Bole Btake and Hansel Ndumbe Eyoh, Bayreuth African series 90, 2011<br />
This book investig<strong>at</strong>es <strong>the</strong> socio-political and cultural role of indigenous practice in<br />
Cameroonian drama. It critically explores different ritual performances and connects <strong>the</strong><br />
philosophy behind such performances to modern politics. An applic<strong>at</strong>ion of a semiological<br />
framework metaphorically interrog<strong>at</strong>es <strong>the</strong> political <strong>at</strong>mosphere in <strong>the</strong> texts and upholds<br />
contemporary Cameroonian drama as a medium employed to unmask internal hierarchies in<br />
its universe. The political and cultural discourses sustained in <strong>the</strong> book converge indigenous<br />
practice and modern thought and in <strong>the</strong> process negoti<strong>at</strong>e for a society in which <strong>the</strong><br />
marginalized are able to voice <strong>the</strong>ir fears and uncertainties. As a result, issues of traditional<br />
worship, greed, moral corruption, rebellion, and freedom are adequ<strong>at</strong>ely addressed.<br />
