Abstract
Since 2010, many novels by Anglophone Cameroonian writers tend to portray bush fallers (immigrants) returning back home, either voluntarily or through deportation. These novels include Imbolo Mbue’s international award-winning debut Behold the Dreamers (2016), Timothy Mbombo’s The Last Bush Faller (2016), Priscilla Manjoh’s Eko Prize winning Snare (2013), Charles Nfon’s Greener from a Distance (2013) and Lucas Tasi’s Home is Best (forthcoming). Mainly using literary activism, this paper will read the return of bush fallers in these novels as a contribution to curbing clandestine/illegal, purposeless immigration.
