N2  - Art and Political Thought in Bole Butake interrogates Butake's major plays through a pluralist critical approach in terms of their political underpinnings and cultural significance. This book places his drama within the socio-political matrix of Cameroon and demonstrates the topicality of the issues of governance, marginalization, and corruption in Cameroon and Africa that Butake consistently foregrounds in his creative works
