Title: Drum Magazine social history photographs, Ghana edition 8 Description: Ghana, 1961. Juju: What is the Truth – This young juju man was asked by his mother to come down from the roof. He replied by plunging the knife deep into his chest and got up, smiling afterwards. The picture shows the knife sliding into his chest..." You want to see juju at work? Why, Amotive is the place!" "No, Agbomey is better! Go there, man!" "The place is Bioseh!" Yes, suggestions came by the million, when we said we wanted to see the juju. No-one told us: "I have personally been to so-and so place and seen such and such wonders. I guarantee that if you go there, you will see and photograph the same wonders."
