The quest for selfhood results to internal conflicts between Webaz and Recam after the departure of the colonial masters. Memories of colonial and post-colonial rule in Julius Angwah’s Before Our Eyes reveal the desire for patriots from different socio-cultural, linguistic and historical backgrounds to come together under the banner of a united rainbow nation to rethink a new county. Ironically, through the visions and memories displayed by different characters in the novel, the realities in Webaz and Recam make one to interrogate and problematise the nexus of the new socio-political power that is built on deception and exploitation in the post-colony. Using the Postcolonial and Psychoanalysis theories, this paper hinges on the hypothesis that the political discourse which is revealed through memory sets the rail as a new vista for both ideological and physical resistance. Through the commingling of dreams, mysticism and memory, Angwah uses Before Our Eyes to fictionalise and satirise an ongoing political crisis in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon through Webaz and Recam who are in full panoply for a battle to re-write their history and carve a niche for their future in contemporary geopolitics. This crisis which is not based on retribution for decades of subservience, aims at arriving at a political resolution that would celebrate difference as a force of unity within an ideal state called WebazRecam.
