''At The Back Of The Black Man’s Mind'' is a historical and anthropological study of the kingly office in West Africa. The author, Richard Edward Dennett, explores the beliefs, customs, and traditions of the people of West Africa in relation to their kings and chiefs. The book delves into the spiritual and mystical aspects of the kingly office, examining the role of divination, magic, and ritual in the selection and maintenance of a king or chief. Dennett also discusses the political and social functions of the kingly office, including its role in maintaining order, resolving disputes, and regulating trade. The book is based on Dennett’s personal experiences and observations during his time living among the people of West Africa in the late 19th century. It provides a unique insight into the cultural practices and beliefs of West African societies during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
