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 explicit
the links between cannibal acts, imperialist influences and the
role of capitalist trading practices. These are highly important
for the history of the slave trade and for understanding the
colonialist history of Africa.
