Omschrijving

Sierra Leone: Its People, Products, And Secret Societies is a book written by H. Osman Newland in 1916. The book provides a comprehensive account of the West African country, Sierra Leone, including its people, culture, economy, and secret societies. The author, who was a British colonial officer, presents a detailed description of the customs and traditions of the various ethnic groups in Sierra Leone, such as the Mende, Temne, and Krio. He also discusses the country's history, geography, flora, and fauna, as well as its agricultural and mineral resources. One of the significant features of the book is its focus on the secret societies of Sierra Leone. These societies, such as the Poro and the Bundu, were an integral part of the country's traditional governance and social structure. Newland provides an in-depth analysis of these societies, their rituals, and their role in Sierra Leonean society. Sierra Leone: Its People, Products, And Secret Societies is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Sierra Leone. It provides a unique insight into the country's traditional societies, which have largely been lost in modern times. The book is written in a clear and accessible style and is accompanied by numerous illustrations and photographs, making it an engaging read for scholars and general readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
