| Summary: | This book is an account of murder and politics in Africa, and an historical ethnography of southern Annang communities during the colonial period. Its narrative leads to events between 1945 and 1948 when the imperial gaze of police, press and politicians was focused on a series of mysterious deaths in south-eastern Nigeria attributed to the 'man-leopard society'. These murder mysteries, reported as the 'biggest, strangest murder hunt in the world', were not just forensic but also related to the broad historical impact of commercial, Christian and colonial aid relations on Annang society |

Its narrative leads to events between 1945 and 1948 when the imperial gaze of police, press and politicians was focused on a series of mysterious deaths in south-eastern Nigeria attributed to the 'man-leopard society'. These murder mysteries, reported as the 'biggest, strangest murder hunt in the world', were not just forensic but also related to the broad historical impact of commercial, Christian and colonial aid relations on Annang society Geschichte 1909-1960 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Murder / Investigation / Nigeria, Southern Anang (African people) / Nigeria, Southern Kolonialismus (DE-588)4073624-6 gnd rswk-swf Annang (DE-588)4002119-1 gnd rswk-swf Gesellschaft (DE-588)4020588-5 gnd rswk-swf Nigeria, Southern / Social conditions Nigeria / History / 1900-1960 Nigeria (DE-588)4042300-1 gnd rswk-swf Nigeria (DE-588)4042300-1 g Annang (DE-588)4002119-1 s Kolonialismus (DE-588)4073624-6 s Gesellschaft (DE-588)4020588-5 s Geschichte 1909-1960 z 1\p DE-604 International African Institute Sonstige (DE-588)1005929-5 oth Erscheint auch als 978-0-7486-2553-6 Druck-Ausgabe https://doi.org/10.1515/9780748631001 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext http://www.cambridge.org/core/product/identifier/9780748631001/type/BOOK Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
