Literary works notoriously reflect the space and time of their production. In the case of Cameroon, the colonial legacy that set a divide between English Speaking and French Speaking communities has fostered two distinct, sometimes conflicting identities. The paper, therefore, attempts a sentiment analysis of Cameroon Anglophone discontent through victimisation and otherisation in four plays and three novels distributed over 40 years of post-independence.
