VI
This book is the fascinating study of Christian enclaves in the Southern Cameroons
of the colonial era. The Christian enclaves came into being with absolute spontaneity
as a modus
vivendi.
Oblivious of the danger in store both colonial governments and
traditional authorities provided the conditions in which these Christian villages took
root and flourished. However what had taken root in the territory as a self-protection
mechanism, soon unleashed its lethal, enticing tentacles luring both the wives of
royals and commoners into their bosom. This disruptive influence of Christian
villages threatened the survival of ethnic groups, arousing the rancour of traditional
authorities and civil administrators. In many ways the Christian enclaves inhibited
the potential of colonial governments to administer the territory. These states within
a state propagated by the missionary in the most insidious and perfidious of all
manners sowed within their own bosom the seed of self-destruction. The whole issue
of runaway wives of royals and commoners alike who took refuge in the Christian
villages troubled both the colonial and traditional authorities. By offering a safe haven
to these runaway wives and welcoming women who were outside the traditional
male authority in a tribal setup, the missionaries began sowing within the Christian
communities the seeds of their own self destruction. Records of wives of Fons and
commoners escaping into these enclaves, eloping with a man and returning pregnant
remained the regular subject of several colonial intelligence reports. Highhanded
methods by missionaries in these villages brought both the missionaries and their
work into disrepute. In less than a quarter of a century these enclaves had lost the
war of attrition waged by colonial and traditional authorities. Worn out by endless
strife and dissension within and without and forced by contingency, what had
been conceived to be ideal Christian communities with snowballing effects, saw its
premature demise.
