Bøger af George Ngwane

The author has remarkably made a long and tortuous story short and simple without smothering complexities. His grasp of the travails of the continent is impressive, so is his objectivity and even handedness. His literary style is crisp and a sheer delight. His study is not intended to portray Africa as in a state of dystopia as most works do... This book should be amongst the prized collections of any library worth its salt on African issues. Canute A. Ngwa, Ph.D.

In The Mungo Bridge Ngwane penetrates the cloak of official secrecy: breaking down this anti-people system lies in its being asphyxiated; in liquidating the old mystification once and for all. For a retrograde and ferocious oligarchy opposes the legitimate aspirations of the people. Thus the people must defend foot-by-foot what is theirs. True, Ngwane has shown in The Mungo Bridge that we all may be accomplices to this fragmentation of the national psyche but we were not responsible for it. Those who were responsible for this Pyrrhic triumph in "brotherhood" were those who sold us like Eyumojock men-sized yams at a bazaar. Bate Besong, Cameroon Life magazine, March 1991 The North West/ South West divide is considered a very serious issue by all Anglophones of goodwill. We have seen George Ngwane in his book The Anglophone File speaks out frankly and publicly on the issue without fear or shame; we have admired his intellectual honesty to publish well researched facts. Ewumbue Monono Churchill, Weekly Post newspaper, 1993 Present day nations worldwide and particularly so in Africa are indeed conglomerations of nation states or tribal units seeking unity in diversity. I believe that such unity may be more easily discovered in a less centralized administration, which permits each unit to take care of its specific problems yet ensuring that the whole holds together. The whole can only hold together in a fair and just system by which the nation provides a save homeland for its citizens. To me this is the crux of the book Fragments of Unity. Albert Mukong, 25th April 1992

In this succinct, well-framed work, noted activist and scholar George Ngwane tackles the issue of minority language rights with alacrity.

In drawing on Cameroonian policies of which he remains a key influencer, George Ngwane offers practical insights and bold solutions that should prove insightful for those tasked with determining the intricacies by which African development potential can be realised through measures that promote both the identities and the future socio-economic and development trajectories of their countries.George Ngwane is a Senior Chevening Fellow in Conflict Prevention from the University of York (UK) (2010).
