Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Ju-Ju and Justice in Nigeria' is a compelling historical account that provides an insider's perspective on the administration of law and order in colonial West Africa during the early 20th century. Written by Frank Hives, who served as a District Commissioner, the work offers a firsthand look at the complex intersection between British judicial systems and the deeply rooted traditional beliefs and spiritual practices known as Ju-Ju.The narrative explores the challenges faced by colonial officers in navigating a landscape defined by powerful secret societies, local rituals, and the indigenous customs of the Nigerian hinterland. Through a series of anecdotes and accounts of official duties, Hives details the tension between maintaining colonial authority and engaging with-or suppressing-local traditions. The work sheds light on the socio-political climate of the era, illustrating the difficulties of imposing a foreign legal framework on a society governed by its own ancient codes of conduct.This book serves as a significant historical source for those interested in African history, the history of the British Empire, and the anthropological study of religious practices in West Africa. It offers a unique window into a transformative period, capturing the struggles and dramatic events that defined the colonial experience in Nigeria.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible. Therefore, you may see the original copyright references, library stamps (as most of these works have been housed in our most important libraries around the world), and other notations in the work.This work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

aus dem Umschlagtext: "An der Westküste Afrikas, ., liegt igeria. Im Innern diese Gebietes trieb noch vor zwei Jahrzehnten die Priester- und Häuptlingskaste der Aros ihr Wesen. Intelligent, grausam, macht- und besitzgierig beherrschten sie kraft eines Fetischkultes , des Ju-Ju-Götzendienstes mit seinen grausigen Menschenopfern und blutigen Orakeln die abergläubische Bevölkerung. Diesen Zuständen mußte Frank Hives, einer der Kolonialpioniere, die ihr schicksalreiches Leben unter den Wilden zugebracht haben, im Namen der britischen Justiz zu Leibe gehen. . Seine Berichte vom großen Kamalu-Ju-Ju, von Gespensterglauben, Frauenhäusern, Schlangen- und Krokodilzauber und von den Kultfesten, die zu ekstatischen Orgien werden, umgeben uns mit der mystischen Welt des dunklen Erdteils, ."; Leineneinband mit Schutzumschlag, Format 15,5 x 23 cm guter Zustand, Schutzumschlag mit Fehlstelle de 210 S. 550 g.…
