| Publisher Description: This book is an exploratory and anthropological showcase of the cultural heritage of the Mankon Kingdom. The author feels this colourful and diversified culture and history, which hitherto had been handed down verbally from generation to generation may face endangerment if not harnessed, documented and projected. This is more so because the cosmopolitan nature of Mankon village, the heartbeat of Bamenda City, erodes her culture piecemeal. The author asserts Mankon, her neighbours and local administration must uphold good-neighbourliness ethos in order to avert disruptive land/boundary disputes that may jeopardize the much-cherished peace in the region. He argues cogently, Cameroon's administration may change nomenclature to avert conflict as the denomination 'Bamenda' referring to the area now occupied by Bamenda I, II, III and beyond, and inherited from the colonial administration, actually means the village and territory of Bamenda I. |
