| description | Understanding indigenous issues in African territories is generally followed by some debates about its suitability and we are invited to look towards indigeneity from the view of cultural distinctiveness, beyond territoriality. This article will analyse the case of the Peul Mbororo community in Cameroon, as an indigenous people recognized by international organizations, focusing on the dynamics through which their cultural borders have been strengthened, placing them as a distinctive ethnic group, in contrast to other Peul groups present in the country. Based on ethnographic data, this article aims to analyse the parameters through which a discourse of ethnic reaffirmation has been redefined in terms of autochthony and citizen rights, in order to understand how ethnicity and indigeneity are articulated from a relational and situated perspective. Within this framework, which necessarily widens the view of the positionality of different social actors, examples of how Mbororo women are situated within the indigenous discourse will be provided, both as an object, but also as a subject of social change. Thus, I intend to provide some keys to demonstrate the relevant role of women in the redefinition and consolidation of a collective experience of the Mbororo indigenous identity. |
