Dr Linda Yang Publishes Three Books

“Those who tell the stories rule society.” This popular quote by Plato precedes the official launch of three new books by Dr Linda Ankiambom Lawyer epse Yang last Friday, August 2, at the premises of the Higher Teachers Training College (HTTC), of the University of Yaounde I. Dr Linda Lawyer Yang, a holder of a Ph.D in History, has just imprinted her name in the world of writers in Cameroon. As a researcher, Dr Linda Yang has used written words in various styles and techniques to communicate her ideas in three books titled: “A Chronicle of Kom Women in Development”, “Literary Forces and Democratic Evolution in Cameroon” which she co-author with Dr Gilead Ngam Nkwain (a University of Bamenda Lecturer), and “A Comparative Study of History Education in Cameroon, 1961-2016” which she also co-author with Arnold Nchamaze Akepu (a secondary school teacher). 
In a brief review of the book “A Chronicle of Kom Women in Development”, the Secretary of State at the Ministry of Basic Education, Dr Asheri Kilo said the book reveals the important role Kom women have played from pre-colonial Cameroon until date.

That is why she decided to write down in a chronicle all what Kom women had done in the development of their community.

But, in the book, Pr Jean Emmanuel Pondi said the writer has taken another perspective by looking at the literary production to understand how it reflects the reality of the society at this time.  According to Prof Pondi, this is an innovative way to approach the subject in an unusual manner. Professor Daniel Abwa was very historical in his choice of words in presenting the book “A Comparative Study of History Education in Cameroon 1961-2016...
