Democratization, Social Renegotiations and the Hegemony of the Rey Bouba Lamidate over the Population of Slavish Mboum Origin in Question in the District of Touboro (North Cameroon)

Abstract

This article analyzes the effects of democratization on power relations between the Rey-Bouba lamidate and the population of slavish Mboum origin in the district of Touboro (North Cameroon). The analysis of the challenges of its political participation (conventional and unconventional) leads to the study of its political activism in a context of diversification of the partisan offer. It also involves entering the profiles of political elites, from their rank and their associative movement. Based on the theory of coloniality of power and collected empirical data, democratization seems to be a favorable framework for social renegotiations between the lamidate of Rey-bouba and the population of the slavish Mboum origin.
