Dark Rapture: The Sex-Life of the African Negro is a controversial book written by Felix Bryk, which explores the sexual behavior and practices of African men and women. The book was first published in 1937 and caused a stir due to its explicit content and racial stereotypes. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of African sexuality. Bryk discusses the sexual practices of different tribes, including the Bantu, the Zulu, and the Masai, and examines their attitudes towards sex and marriage. He also explores the role of sex in African religion and ritual, and the ways in which it is used to establish social hierarchies and maintain power structures.Despite its sensationalist title and controversial subject matter, Dark Rapture is considered an important work in the field of anthropology. It provides a unique insight into African culture and sexuality at a time when little was known about these topics in the Western world. However, it has also been criticized for perpetuating racial stereotypes and promoting a colonialist view of African culture. Overall, Dark Rapture is a complex and challenging book that offers a fascinating glimpse into the sexual practices of a diverse and complex continent. It remains a controversial work, but one that continues to be studied and debated by scholars and readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
