More about the book

The book explores the concept of avuncular relationships within the Basaa people's social structure, particularly focusing on the term "yandom," which signifies both offspring and members of a mother's patriclan. It delves into the dynamics of these relationships, highlighting the rights and attitudes associated with them. Through a detailed examination of Basaa ideology of descent, the study provides insights into how kinship and social roles are defined and understood within this cultural context.
