ABONG-MBANG

Urban civilization in Sub-Saharan Africa is essentially cultural and its exploratory context is the product of the anteriority of empirical mutations in processual history. This age-old metamorphosis is worth its golden present in the dialectic of human prowess. From hybrid hamlets to illuminated forests Abong-Mbang lies at the heart of structural dynamics and reconfigurations the necessity of which abounds in an institutional imperative. Indeed with its rich cultural diversity and strategic position as a crossroads town Abong-Mbang is the Tower of Babel of the Rising Sun region offering collective memory the first verse in the founding of Cameroon as a nation-state. The author of this opuscule invites us to revisit the concept of the urban and its appropriation in the image of Abong-Mbang.
