The monograph, with its first-hand accounts, was, nevertheless, colured by the scientific, religious and political theories and biases of its time. Cagnolo makes no reference to "religion of the Kikuyu" but examines the tribe's belief and rituals under the chapter heading "Superstitions and Beliefs," a chapter he ends by asking the reader to "entertain some feeling of pity for these poor slaves of ignorance." He also goes on to offer a clarion call: "It is an obligation upon us civilized peoples to put these phantasms to flight, and to lighten their darkness with the sun of justice and the stars of civilization." (p.189) The book brims with fascinating observations: interesting in their own right; but also revealing about what they tell us, the modern reader, about the observer and his subjects and the relationship between these. "Physically the Kikuyu types is not an athletic constitution. Middle height, generally slender, brown coloured, large zygomas, flat nose. He is not fit for heavy labour, but he makes up for physical effort with his finesse in circumventing the obstacle with the least possible outlay of energy. The local conditions that produce the necessities of life with the minimum of work, the clemency of the climate, that does not require much shelter, the almost exclusively vegetarian diet, must have immensely influenced his diet.The Kikuyu temper is distrustful and suspicious with a tendency to dissimulation and guile: behind which the weak and inferior entrench themselves." (p.19-20) "The Akikuyu display a stoicism regarding death that borders on indifference. As soon as one has breathed his last, or when it is assumed that this has happened, all bonds of relationship and friendship are broken. Everyone goes his way: the living to their business, the dead to the jaws of the hyenas and jackals. Even the dead man's memory must not survive, and every effort is made to leave it in oblivion. Because he is dead he may no longer be spoken of and it is an evil thing even to mention his name, even though it be one's father or mother or a beloved child.It is a convention that the dead man is buried exclusively by his sons, and these must be circumcised, as an uncircumcised boy is not allowed at a public ceremony." After describing the funeral ceremony is some det.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the author's erudite contemplation of the intersection of law and morality during the era of the Renaissance. It shows how the widespread concerns over the growth of humanism and the re-emergence of classical learning had a profound impact on the development of criminal law. Detailed attention is given to the rise of criminal law procedure through a humanist lens, and how the era's intellectual giants shaped the legal framework of their day. The author places great emphasis on how the distinct legal and ethical philosophies of the Renaissance stand in stark contrast to the perspectives of medieval customary law, and how both Christian and pagan thought had a major influence on the jurists of the time.
