520 $a"While human cannibalism has attracted considerable notice and controversy, certain aspects of the practice have received scant attention. These include the connection between cannibalism and xenophobia: the capture and consumption of unwanted strangers. Likewise ignored is the connection to slavery: the fact that in some societies slaves and persons captured in slave raids could be, and were, killed and eaten. This book explores these largely forgotten practices and ignored connections while making exploring the links between cannibal acts, imperialist influences and the role of capitalist trading practices that are highly important for the history of the slave trade and for understanding the colonialist history of Africa"--$cProvided by publisher.
