Douala, between tradition and modernity

Niels Ackermann

A report from the New Bell Evangelical College and its surroundings, one of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods in Douala, Cameroon's economic capital. Through a few encounters, we discover an urban Cameroon, torn between respect for its traditions and a modernity heavily influenced by Western culture.
