Foreword: the Anglophone problem as seen through the eyes of some of Cameroon’s most prominent veteran and emerging scholars

Abstract This essay serves as a foreword to the special issue guest-edited by Juliana Makuchi Nfah-Abbenyi and Gilbert Doho and defines the context in which four veteran scholars and three emerging ones came together for the working conference “The Fragmented Nation or the Anglophone-Francophone Problem in Cameroon” held at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, USA, on March 1, 2019. The foreword describes briefly the work of each participant who further developed their arguments for this special edition of JALA and cites some of the profound remarks noted during the discussions that day.
