A CASE STUDY
RELIGION AND STATE IN CONFLICT IN CAMEROUN
Keywords:
Religion, StateAbstract
Presbyterianism and colonialism were introduced into Cameroun during the last quarter of the nineteenth century by American missionaries and Western Europeans respectively. The Europeans were principally Germans, French, and English and consisted of governmental administrators, soldiers, police, planters, traders and missionaries. Also joining this group of foreign peoples was a sprinkling of other missionaries of Swiss, and Norwegian origin. The relations between American Presbyterian missionaries and the colonial communitv were affected by differences in nationality, language, objectives and interests.
