Kejom (Babanki) Linguistic Practices in Farming Economies - Paperback

by Cornelius W. Wuchu (Author), Pius W. Akumbu (Author)

This book contributes to a better understanding of the agricultural activities of the people as those who consume their products in the cities can find in it knowledge of how what they consume is produced. It is also a useful tool for those scholars who are interested in learning about the traditions and culture of this society. This kind of record also makes a significant contribution by proposing new ways for farmers to improve on their activities and move towards better standards of living. There are certainly shortcomings in this book for which the authors accept responsibility and would welcome criticisms and suggestions for improvement. Pius W. Akumbu, PhD University of Buea
