	Jouvert 7.2:Edward O. Ako, "Alterity and the Imperial Agenda"
		Often, as in the case of Mary Kingsley's Travels in West Africa and Gerald Durrell's The Bafut Beagles,[1]the two works we are concerned with here, the travelogue is intended to fulfil some strategic role for the writer's country of origin or for the country or organisation that has made the trip possible.
		But what the Buea chiefs see in her sojourn among them, and what African readers see in the text, is neither the "comic and self-ironic persona" nor the "masterful irreverence"; rather, it is the negative representations and that sick pastime of laughing at, rather than with, others.
		Like the Buea chiefs in Kingsley's text, the Fon of Bafut (in the North West Province of Cameroon) is portrayed as a caricature; he is almost always drunk and on one occasion, he removes his royal apparel in order to participate personally in the hunting expedition to ensure that Durrell's will is done.

		Since the people of Bafut settled in the northwest part of Cameroon four centuries ago, the Bafut Palace Complex has played a central role in the life of their community.

		The paramount Fon of Bafut was there, all the jujus and other notables, queens and about 1000 of Bafut’s population.
		Tomorrow we leave the comforts of Yaounde and head for Bafut fondom… where my couch is musty and the toilet typically needs to be flushed with a bucket, where climate control lacks and she’ll sleep on a thick piece of foam in a room where tarantalas have been known to scurry.
