The Bees review our book of the month for October, "The Crown Of Thorns" by Linus Asong. This Cameroonian classic is set in a fictional village shortly after independence. Our discussion touches on themes such as the ethics of the acquisition and display of African artifacts in Western museums, the dynamics between official government authorities and traditional rulers post-colonization, and the evolution of native cultural practices and social norms.
