Doing Business in Cameroon

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Essential reading for all those interested in the state in Africa, the inherent complexity and uncertainty of legal norms and practices, as well as emergent forms of African capitalism.' Thomas Bierschenk, Johannes Gutenberg-Universitaet Mainz, Germany 'The book is remarkable for capturing in nuanced detail patterns, rules, meaning, and practice that are interwoven between domestic business, and regional and international actors in Cameroon over time ... offers a corrective to many scholarly perspectives which propagate more of the same, evidenced in the language of chaos and failure to consolidate free market reforms. Africanists, anthropologists, sociologists, political economists are likely to find the book's thrust powerful.' Naaborle Sackeyfio, Journal of Cultural Economy '... because of the richness of its ethnography, the book is also important beyond Cameroon. It opens possibilities for the discerning reader to connect this ethnography to many threads of anthropological discussion on the political economy of liberalization in sub-Saharan African states as well as other regions outside the continent, including postsocialist economies in Europe and Asia.' Rogers Orock, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
