About the book

An eye-opening investigation of the emergence of complex purchasable associations in the Cross River region of southwest Cameroon and southeast Nigeria. These associations emerged in the context of the growing transatlantic hinterland and were disseminated from the direction of the Atlantic coast to the hinterland. Associations form a substantial part of the prestige economy in the Cross River cultures up until the present.
