Dress Code and Africanity in Central Africa

More about the book

Focusing on sartorial attitudes in Central Africa, the book explores how local dress codes reflect cultural adaptation and the influence of foreign styles, particularly from the West and Middle East. It questions whether these evolving fashion trends dilute or enhance original African cultures, using Cameroon as a case study. The research employs a collaborative methodology, drawing insights from diverse groups, including students in diplomacy and administration, as well as public servants, to understand the interplay between dress and cultural identity.
