A Social History of Equatorial Guinea - African Scholars Series N°001 - Dr Enrique Okenve

Dr Enrique Okenve teaches African history at the University of the West Indies at Mona, Jamaica. He received his PhD from the School of Oriental and African Studies-University of London. His research interest focuses on socio-cultural transformations in colonial Central Africa, in particular Equatorial Guinea (EG).

He has recently completed an article on the transformation of genealogical memory among Fang-speaking peoples in mainland EG (forthcoming, Ayer) and a book chapter for an edited volume (forthcoming, African Islands: Leading Edges of Empire and Globalization). The latter deals with the marginalization of the Bubi people in relation to the location of the colonial capital on the island of Bioko.
