Alexandre Kum’a Ndumbe III is a historian, political scientist, Germanist, and writer. He is the legitimate heir to the throne of Lock Priso Bell (Kum’a Mbape), one of the notable kings of the Sawa people, originally from the Cameroonian coast. Throughout his work, he has been committed to African renaissance, the rehabilitation of African memory, histories, and identities. In the early 1980s, he founded the independent cultural center in Douala, La Foundation AfricAvenir International, aimed at reforming the forms and content of education at its political, economic, scientific, and cultural levels as well as better promoting endogenous knowledge in Cameroon, Africa, and the world. For more than four decades, the Prince has been involved in the issue of restitution of African cultural heritage in both its tangible and intangible aspects. The work undertaken through the AfricAvenir Foundation highlights the importance of the restitution of chains and rituals of knowledge transmission such as dance, tales, and music which have long constituted the spaces of cultural resistance of African peoples. The Prince emphasizes the urgency of the restitution of material heritage such as art subjects held captive in European collections, this having led to a considerable absence in their territories of origin, knowing that most of them constitute fundamental tools of expression and education for the traditional anchoring of communities.
