Résumé

L’exploitation et l’utilisation du Camwood a joué un rôle important dans l’économie politique de la Région du bassin de la Cross River et du fleuve Manyu du Cameroun et du Nigeria, y compris certaines communautés de l’intérieur du pays tout au long de la colonisation britannique qui a duré de 1916 à 1961. Les Britanniques sont parfois intervenus pour mettre fin à son exploitation sauvage et réglementer sa commercialisation sur le marché local et extérieur. En dépit de leurs efforts laborieux, l’exploitation du camwood a continué pour satisfaire divers usage internes et externes.

Camwood (Pterocarpus Tinctorius) in the Political Economy of the Cross and Manyu Rivers Basin of Cameroon and Some Hinterland Communities, 1916-1961

Camwood exploitation and use played an important role in the political economy of the Cross and Manyu river basin of Cameroon and Nigeria including some hinterland communities throughout the era of British administration which spanned from 1916-1961. The British occasionally intervened to end its unrestricted exploitation and regulated its commercialisation for the local and external market. In spite of their laborious effort in this direction, Camwood exploitation continued for various internal and external uses.
