Balondo Phenomenology: Its Structures of Experience and Consciousness

By Aja Oro

This book comprises an overview of Balondo phenomenology that could be seen as a welcome contribution to the growing body of cultural literacy in Africa as a whole where African cultures are continuously being displaced by the 'dominant' European colonial culture that is visible in the schools, churches, language, government, and business enterprises. In that light, its main thrust is to educate the world about Balondo customs that are similarly on the verge of elimination and total extinction. To accomplish that goal, the author who is a son of the soil has made an excellent first attempt in describing how Balondo in Cameroon deal and cope with their 'contractual' relationship with the social world and the spiritual world. Two worlds comprising humans and spirits wherein change is constant to the extent that it creates an atmosphere of uncertainty that forces people to either shift their alliance or invoke the support of a more powerful force to ensure balance and stability.
