WRIGHT, Harry B.

Witness to Witchcraft

London: Souvenir Press, 1957. First Edition. 8vo. 22cm x 14.5cm. Publisher's green cloth. Dustjacket. Titled in gilt to spine, light wear to extremities, in a bright, clean dustjacket with some inoffensive wear to the edges and corners, and some minor soiling to the white rear panel. A very good copy with a little fraying around the edges. 218pp. Internally clean, with a central section of black and white photographs of various rituals, and indigenous peoples. A fascinating account of those people who were at the time referred to by Westerners as "Witch Doctors", what that term means to different cultures, and the role that such practitioners occupy in their respective societies. A good example of mid 20th century 'intruder anthropology'.

Price: $100.00
