  • Content of Character
    Peter Wuteh Vakunta
    In Content of Character: Poetics of Redemption, we argue that all that is necessary for evil to thrive in contemporary society is for decent people to do nothing. We contend that silence is not an option in contemporary society where sin and immorality seem to overshadow decency and the innate goodness of man. The crux of our contention in this book hinges on our conviction tha...

  • Dissent
    Peter Wuteh Vakunta
    Dissent: The Highest Stage of Patriotism is a treatise on dissent as the acme of love for one’s fatherland. Arguing against the grain, the author avoids smug patriotism; that which manages to make everything about the homeland flawless and beautiful. It is the author’s conviction that the greatness of a nation resides not in citizens’ blind sycophancy, but rather in their willi...

  • Aporia
    Peter Wuteh Vakunta
    Aporia is a long prose poem that makes a case for the Ambazonian Revolution. It is my conviction that the task of the genuine intellectual is to speak up when no one dares to speak. When we draw a blank and cannot make sense of the events that have deeply perturbed our lives, we have recourse to the plume in a bid to externalize pent-up emotions. The impetus to write Aporia ste...

  • Critical Perspectives on the Theory and Practice of Translating Camfranglais Literature
    Peter Wuteh Vakunta
    This study teases out the nexus between text typologies and translational paradigms. Camfranglais fictional works are not canonical texts; rather they find a niche in the corpus of peripheral ethnographic texts that require an interpretive approach to translational practice. Translators of Camfranglais literature cannot but be like the texts they translate - at once multilingua...

  • Camfranglais
    Peter Wuteh Vakunta
    This study raises awareness to the emergence of a new genre in world literature-hybridized literature. It rejects the assumption according to which literatures written in less commonly taught languages should be subsumed into one universally accessible global idiom. Instead, Vakunta challenges literary scholars and readers of literature to regard untranslatability as the key to...

  • A Nation at Risk
    Peter Wuteh Vakunta
    A Nation at Risk: A Personal Narrative of the Cameroonian Crisis should be construed as a requiem for what used to be known as the Republic of Cameroon. The overriding objective of this book is to shine the searchlight on the dysfunctional government of Cameroon under President Paul Biya, a minuscule man and matching mind, endowed with a gargantuan ego. Those who wish to compre...

  • Martyrdom and Other Freedom Poems
    Peter Wuteh Vakunta
    This poetry collection, appropriately dedicated 'in derision of all the cloned dictators in Africa,' is marked by the acerbic irony of the 'macabre poet' on various themes emphasizing Africa’s dilemma past and present. The titles tell the whole story, from the confusion and contradictions of 'The Rabble,' idiots called leaders claiming to liberate the people from mental slavery...
