Mbororo on the move: from pastoral mobility to international travel

Pelican, Michaela (2011). Mbororo on the move: from pastoral mobility to international travel. Journal of Contemporary African Studies, 29(4):427-440.

Abstract

This contribution deals with historical and contemporary experiences of mobility among Mbororo (Fulbe pastoralists) in northwest Cameroon. It examines the impact of these experiences on Mbororo interaction with their environment, and the emergence of ideas of tourism and heritage among Mbororo based in Cameroon and abroad. It argues that while Mbororo mobility has now attained a global scale, it is largely limited to the more prosperous and educated elite, and contributes to social stratification within Mbororo society.
