Passing Through the World

A Story of Childhood, Curiosity and Perplexity

By: Amin George Forji

Forji has the magical knack of showing the world as it appears through the eyes of a young person. His words first introduce the reader to Cameroons diverse society as an infant sees it; and then we peer with him through the anxious lens of adolescence. Forjis is an authentic Cameroonian voice that helps the reader understand how things were for a youngster in his country in the 1980s and 1990s. Claire George PhD Stunning and unique not just for the unconventional storyline but also the ingenuity with which Forji tells it. an interesting read that chronicles life in a typical African setting as well as the complexities of polygamous family circles. Dr. Edinam K. Glover, University of Helsinki A prosaic masterpiece packed with memorable events. an illuminating African story.

International Law and the History of Resource Extraction in Africa

Capital Accumulation and Underdevelopment, 1450-1918

By: George Forji Amin

This book investigates the historical economic and legal regimes that legitimated the resource extraction and exploitation of Africa between the 15th and 19th centuries and led to the continent’s trajectory of underdevelopment in the world system. The book interrogates the economic and legal structures that supported European intervention in Africa. It explores the trade and private property rights which were to shape the economic future of the continent, most notably the trade in human beings as legitimate private property by European powers. The book then looks at the techniques used to submerge African sovereignty under European sovereignty during the scramble for territorial control in the 19th century, concluding with the validation of occupation in international law following the 1884-85 Berlin Conference. The book argues that the doctrines of trade and property rights sanctioned by international law led to a trend of African dispossession that set the continent on a path to underdevelopment, with long-reaching consequences. This book will be of interest to researchers and students across law, history, economics, international relations, and African studies.
