"The Heart of Africa, Vol. 2" by Georg August Schweinfurth is a travelogue and exploration account written in the late 19th century. The work recounts the author's three-year journey through the largely uncharted regions of Central Africa from 1868 to 1871, focusing on his encounters with various indigenous tribes, cultures, and geographical wonders. The book particularly highlights the customs and characteristics of the Niam-niam people, often noted for their controversial dietary practices. The opening of the volume sets the stage by introducing the Niam-niam tribe, giving insights into their physical characteristics, social structure, and daily life. It touches upon their distinct cultural practices such as their agricultural habits and the significance of hunting, while also addressing the misconceptions surrounding their reputed cannibalism. As Schweinfurth delves into the complexities of their society, he shares anecdotes about his interactions with the tribe, his observations on their ceremonies, and his quest for understanding their way of life. Through these descriptions, readers gain a vivid picture of a society steeped in tradition, resilience, and a unique identity amid the backdrop of Central Africa’s wilderness.
