- Abstract
- Using letters exchanged between British colonial authorities and Chief Manga Williams of Bimbia, in the British Southern Cameroons, I seek to answer the following questions: What conceptualizations of age were adopted in these colonial letters? How did these differ in letters written by colonial administrators and colonized subjects – in this case Chief Williams? What repertoires of knowledges drove their production, rejection and perhaps co-construction?
