AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

It is an exceptional and almost unattainable document/bulletin dating from the French mandate era over the former German colony, undated. The large-format document, measuring 32 by 25 cm and consisting of 48 pages, was published around 1935 with period photos, in order to publicize research on the Bamileke of northern/eastern Cameroon. It is also a remarkable document on the mentality and colonial vision of that era.

Protected by a dust jacket, the document is in fairly good condition for its age. Small tear to the cover along the lower edge.

Texts written by academics and administrators.
