The debate is no longer whether to use information and communication technologies (ICT) in education in Africa but how to do so, and how to ensure equitable access for teachers and learners, whether in urban or rural settings. This is a book about how Africans adopt and adapt ICT. It is also about how ICT shape African schools and classrooms. Why do we use ICT, or not? Do girls and boys use them in the same ways? How are teachers and students in primary and secondary schools in Africa using (...)

The Dissemination of Cameroon Anglophone Literature
This is a foundational text on the production and dissemination of Anglophone Cameroon literature. The Republic of Cameroon is a bilingual country with English and French as the official languages.

2009, author(s)-editor(s) Bernard Nsokika Fonlon
This book, slim as it looks, took Bernard Nsokika Fonlon the best part of five laborious years to write 1965-9 inclusive. He writes: "I was penning away as students in France were up in arms against the academic Establishment, and their fury almost toppled a powerful, prestigious, political giant like General de Gaulle. In America students, arms in hand, besieged and stormed the buildings of the University Administration, others blew up lecture halls in Canada - the student revolt, a very (...)

Deux séries de manuels scolaires ont principalement programmé la répulsion de soi et l’attraction par l’autre propres aux élites d’Afrique noire : les collections des Frères missionnaires Macaire et Grill comme Mamadou et Bineta d’André Davesne seul ou avec J. Gouin. Un siècle après, pour rendre intelligible le type d’homme produit par l’Ecole étrangère en colonie, nous avons remonté l’itinéraire parcouru à travers leurs lectures par des générations d’écoliers pour savoir quelles sources avaient alimenté (...)
