Publisher's Synopsis
Dark Rapture: The Sex-Life Of The African Negro is a controversial book written by Felix Bryk. The book explores the sexual practices of African men and women in the early 20th century. Bryk, a Polish anthropologist, spent several years studying the sexual behavior of African tribes and documented his findings in this book.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of African sexual practices. Bryk covers everything from premarital sex to polygamy, homosexuality, and prostitution. He also delves into the sexual rituals of various African tribes, including the Bantu and the Masai.While the book was well-received by some scholars at the time of its publication in 1936, it has since been criticized for its racist and sexist undertones. Bryk's descriptions of African sexuality are often sensationalized and dehumanizing, and he frequently portrays African men and women as primitive and uncivilized.Despite its controversial nature, Dark Rapture remains a significant work in the field of anthropology and provides insight into the sexual practices of African tribes during a particular period in history. However, it should be read with caution and a critical eye towards the biases and prejudices of its author.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
