NEW AFRICAN
HISTORIES
Series Editors: Jean AHman and Allen haacman
Nation of Outlaws, State of Violence is the first history of Cameroonian nationalism to
consider the constant interplay between global and local influences in the decades be¬
fore and after official independence. Drawing on a variety of archival and oral sources,
Meredith Terretta chronicles the spread of the Union
des
populations
du Cameroun
(UPC) nationalist movement from the late
1940s
into the first
postcolonial
decade.
Terretta shows how, in the French and British Cameroon territories administered as UN
trusteeships after the Second World War, ideas of human rights, Third World indepen¬
dence, Pan-African federation, and national citizenship blended with local political and
spiritual practices that resurfaced as the period of European rule came to a close.
After French and British administrators banned the party in the
mid-1950s,
UPC
nationalists adopted violence as a revolutionary strategy. In the
1
960s, the
postcolonial
regime labeled UPC nationalists "outlaws" and rounded them up for imprisonment or
execution as the state shifted to single-party rule in
1966.
Terretta shows that postindependence events were crucial to the history of Cam¬
eroonian nationalism and to an understanding of the
postcolonial
government that
came to power on
1
January
1960.
While the history of the UPC is a story that ends
with the party's failure to come to power at independence, it is also a story of the post-
colonial states failure to become a nation.
"A highly significant contribution to the historiography of African nationalism.
.
In
challenging conventional political and cultural understandings of Cameroonian
nationalism and its chronological development, Nation oj Outlaws makes important
theoretical contributions to the field
. . .
and serves as an important model for future
studies of African nationalism."
—
Elizabeth Schmidt, author of Cold War and Unionization in Guinea,
І946-І95В
'The subject matter of Nation of Outlaws, State of Violence is significant, the story movingly
tragic and revealing of Cameroon's
postcolonial
morass, and the research has an admi¬
rable depth and breadth."
