Spears Books

We are delighted to announce a forthcoming title from Spears Books: Beyond the Tribal Cocoon by Professor Emmanuel Yenshu Vubo, to be released on August 21, 2026.

In this collection of works on cross-cultural relations, Yenshu Vubo argues that the affirmed differences between identity groups collapse when we look at the common modes of existence that cut across cultural boundaries. Inspired by structural anthropology and drawing on evidence from the south-western quadrant of Cameroon, this book proposes a vital methodology for understanding the common experiences that unite peoples across Africa and beyond.

Africa Writes

We’re excited to share Dr. Samuel S. Dinga’s inspiring interview on Wisconsin Public Radio about his new memoir, Living in the Middle: A Life Between Belonging and Becoming.
In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Dinga reflects on his journey from Cameroon to central Wisconsin, the complexities of identity, raising a biracial family, and what it truly means to belong. His story is a reminder that many of us are navigating our own “middle.”
