This ethnography describes and analyses the lives of dozens of young men and women in the community of Old Town, the cradle of the sprawling city of Bamenda, Cameroon. It details how young people, previously positioned as "youth" despite their attainment of biological maturity have sought to re-position themselves as social adults against a backdrop of diminishing state resources, prolonged economic crisis and more recently, raging armed conflict. Although the processes of becoming social adults are fraught with ambivalence, the ethnographer contends that their analyses enable readers to appreciate the specific ways in which gendered identities and subjectivities are created and social transformation brought about in local society. Becoming social adults entails labour-intensive processes that could easily be ignored and indeed, often ignored in the literature. The ethnography demonstrates that in their quest for social adulthood, an aspect of personhood in the Cameroon Grasslands, young people embark upon individual and collective practices of self-care which entail cultivating virtuous character aimed not only at their own moral transformation but also their community - deep practices that encapsulate what the ethnographer describes as moral citizenship"

This book is a follow-up to the popular "Cabin In The Woods," a collection of life experiences I had when moving to a rural town in central Connecticut. We took up residence in an old, rustic cabin, which sat deep in the woods on a hillside knoll. There was no running water, no bathroom, no heat and no electricity, only a huge stone fireplace. In the years that followed, we built a sizable house around that cabin, but God's "country education" never stopped offering me some unique classes in spiritual living. God blessed me with many fantastic learning experiences from those formative years. When I share them, people really enjoy the country settings, as well as the heart-felt lessons they bring. They stir their emotions and often bring back the memories they themselves have, when they were young and adventurous, too. This book is a follow-up to that book and is arranged as follows: "More Early Cabin Years" "The Teen Years" "The College Years" So, here's another bunch that God used to teach me about who He is and what He wanted for my life...I hope you enjoy them!
