In Cannibalism and the Colonial World, an international team of specialists from a variety of disciplines discusses the historical and cultural significance of Western fascination with the topic of cannibalism.

This group of literary and anthropological scholars places the discussion of cannibalism in the context of postcolonial and cultural studies.
