Fetichism In West Africa: Forty Years' Observation Of Native Customs And Superstitions

By Robert Hamill Nassau

""Fetichism in West Africa"" is a book written by Robert Hamill Nassau, detailing his forty years of observation of native customs and superstitions in West Africa. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of fetichism and its practices in West Africa, including the belief in spirits, the use of charms and amulets, and the worship of idols. The second part of the book focuses on specific examples of fetichism in different regions of West Africa, including the Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. Nassau's observations are based on his personal experiences and interactions with the native people, as well as his extensive research and study of the topic. The book provides a unique insight into the beliefs and practices of West African cultures, and is an important historical document in the study of anthropology and African history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
