In Cannibalism and the Colonial World, an international team of specialists from a variety of disciplines discusses the historical and cultural significance of Western fascination with the topic of cannibalism. Addressing the image as it appears in a series of texts-popular culture, film, literature, travel writing and anthropology-the essays range from classical times to contemporary critical discourse. This group of literary and anthropological scholars places the discussion of cannibalism in the context of postcolonial and cultural studies. | Cannibalism And The Colonial World by Francis Barker, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
