Woman's Mysteries Of A Primitive People : The Ibibios Of Southern Nigeria

Woman's Mysteries Of A Primitive People : The Ibibios Of Southern Nigeria

by D. Amaury Talbot


This is an ethnography of the Iboibo, a Nigerian tribe. Written by a pioneering English woman in the early 20th Century, this book focuses on the ritual life of women. Despite the naïve colonialist attitude, it presents a female perspective which was seldom seen in the ethnographic literature of the period.
