Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes us deep into the unsettling world of the Human Leopard Society, a secret cannibalistic group that operated in the Sierra Leone hinterland during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The author, a legal expert, provides a chilling account of the society's rituals, motives, and the gruesome murders they committed. He meticulously details the society's origins, their relationship to other native secret societies such as the Poro, and their reliance on the potent "Borma" medicine, whose power was believed to be replenished by human fat and blood. The book also explores the colonial response to the Human Leopard Society, examining the legal measures taken by the British government in an effort to control the violence. The author delves into the complexities of cultural clash, the role of witchcraft and medicine in native beliefs, and the difficult task of introducing Western justice and morality to a society steeped in traditional practices. The book offers a fascinating and disturbing glimpse into the dark corners of human history and the ongoing struggle between colonial authority and indigenous traditions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331435969_0
