Harold Schechter

Pocket, 1990

Could it be?

+ Schecter's best
+ Cant Put This Book Down

This book kept me at the edge of my seat... or pillow, depending on what time of day I was reading. It was an easy read, but yet gripping and almost to much to believe. I must know, is this truly fact, or fiction? If you look at page 3, you see a note that reads "This book is a work of ...

Among the Cannibals: Adventures on the Trail of Man's Darkest Ritual4 reviews
Paul Raffaele

Collins, 2008

Great read, some disturbing parts....

+ More a travel account than real anthropology, but highly enjoyable
+ Travel Narrative that treks to the heart of cannibalism

Among the Cannibals is a fascinating book for anyone interested in other cultures and their practices - religious or otherwise. What makes this book particularly amazing is that the author truly did find people that are today practicing cannibalism. Raffaele even manages to make it seem acceptable ...

How can one learn more about anthropophagy?

+ Very Informative

By reading this delightful book about a truly undelightful practice. Usual societal mores view eating the flesh of another human as distasteful, not an easy topical read, and a difficult subject matter for some to swallow (poor puns intended). How best to examine the scattered historical ...
