Central Africa, Fang Women,19th Century

The Fang people are a Central African ethnic group found in Equatorial Guinea, northern Gabon, and southern Cameroon. They were stereotyped as cannibals by slave traders and missionaries, in part because human skulls and bones were found in open or in wooden boxes near their villages, a claim used to justify violence against them and their enslavement. Later ethnologists discovered that the Fang people were not cannibalistic, the human bones were of their ancestors, a method of remembrance and reverence for their dead loved ones. Africa illustrated by William. R. Smith; illustrated by the most eminent artists, 1889 (cropped and cleaned).
