Travels and Adventures in Eastern Africa

Record summary

William Cornwallis Harris? This title is associated with nineteenth-century East African travel literature and should be checked carefully against catalog records before use. Accounts under similar titles describe Muslim, coastal and inland beliefs about jinn, spirits, haunted places and protective practices. The lead may help compare how travelers represented apparitions in Zanzibar and mainland societies, but the exact author, edition and passages require verification because nineteenth-century bibliographies contain similarly named travel books. It should be retained only if a catalog confirms the precise work and relevant contents.
