ABONG-MBANG - Alain Thomas Etamane Mahop - Bog

Urban civilization in Sub-Saharan Africa is essentially cultural, and its exploratory context is the product of the anteriority of empirical mutations in processual history. This age-old metamorphosis is worth its golden present in the dialectic of human prowess. From hybrid hamlets to illuminated forests, Abong-Mbang lies at the heart of structural dynamics and reconfigurations, the necessity of which abounds in an institutional imperative. Indeed, with its rich cultural diversity and strategic position as a crossroads town, Abong-Mbang is the "Tower of Babel" of the Rising Sun region, offering collective memory the first verse in the founding of Cameroon as a "nation-state". The author of this opuscule invites us to revisit the concept of the urban and its appropriation in the image of Abong-Mbang.
