The Grebo tribe of Liberia

The Grebo tribe of Liberia, sometimes referred to as 'Krou', are one of the most secretive and dangerous tribes in West Africa. Very little is known about their culture, ceremonies or even utilitarian implements. One of the few tribes in their region, not to belong to the 'Poro society', and hence their beliefs, social order and behaviour was not controlled by the rules and guidelines of their neighbouring tribes. Steve Thanni, is one of the few 'tribal hunters' in recent history, who has been given unfettered access to 'all' areas of their villages and customs. With close ties to several 'Bodios' (spiritual chiefs), he has gained a unique insight into this most feared of warring tribes - hitherto misunderstood by much of the Western world. The book will contain many pictures of unique tribal art, taken in the villages, and 'unseen' before, in any Museums or private collections!
