Description:
| Cameroon is a nation of diversity, both in its cultural and natural environments. Its dense tropical rainforest, central savannah, and northern semi-desert are home to over 125 ethnic groups and nearly as many languages and dialects. Imbued with tradition, as evidenced by its famed folklore, art, music, and wide variety of family systems, bilingual Cameroon also integrates three colonial heritages -- French, British, and German -- into its ethnic mix. Today, social and economic development are presenting unique challenges to Cameroon's ethnic pluralism and traditional lifestyles.
Yaoundé, the thriving modern capital, and Dschang, a temperate city nestled among verdant hills, provide ideal backdrops for your study of a nation striving to preserve its cultural heritage and environmental diversity in the face of changes brought about by globalization. | |
