Porcupine in a Python's Throat is a collection of essays that diagnoses and prescribes an urgent but complex surgical operation in British Southern Cameroons aka Ambazonia, a self-governing territory with recognized international boundaries in former British West Africa, that Great Britain and the United Nations considered 'expendable' at independence in 1961. This volume of very well-written essays tells the cruel experiences of the betrayal and colonial subjugation of the people of the region for decades, with a global conspiracy of silence. In an era of renewed rhetoric on freedoms, independence and democratization, the book echoes the clarion call of Frantz Fanon while being very immediate and pertinent to those non-nation-states which currently struggle for freedom and recognition. It is a great resource for those interested in postcolonial independence movements and highly recommended for scholars and practitioners in the fields of international relations, political science, peace and conflict studies, history, international law, sociology, human services, and security studies.
