Reviews

""Interdisciplinary Essays on Cannibalism: Bites Here and There is a wide-ranging collection of suggestive and lively explorations of a broad variety of evocative instances of figural cannibalism. These essays make a compelling case for the prevailing relevance of the metaphor across multiple disciplines and fields of inquiry. Thoughtfully reassessing cannibalism in the light of recent theoretical perspectives and approaches, the volume’s contributors advocate spiritedly and provocatively for the concept’s enduring potential as a mode of illuminating distinct aspects of human history and socio-economic relations."" Luís Madureira, Professor of African Cultural Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison
