Tells the story of an annual festival of eighteenth-century kingdoms in Northern Cameroon that was swept up in the migrations of marauding slave-raiders during the nineteenth century and carried south towards the coast. Lela has become one of the most important of Cameroonian festivals and a crucial marker of identity within the state.
