Abstract

The last decade has witnessed growing scholarly interest in «unresolved nation-state issues» in Africa, particularly secessionist movements, hybrid sovereignties, and postcolonial struggles for cultural recognition. In this context, Jarosław Różański’s Federal Republic of Ambazonia represents one of the most comprehensive Polish-language monographs on the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon and the sociocultural processes underlying the imagined Ambazonia polity. The book is distinguished by its interdisciplinary approach, combining history, ethnography, missionary studies, and conflict analysis. Through this multi-layered perspective, Różański offers a nuanced account of how colonial legacies, cultural identities, and political resentments converged to create one of Africa’s longest-running conflicts.
