Human Zoos: Science And Spectacle In The Age Of Empire

Human zoos, forgotten symbols of the colonial era, have been totally repressed in our collective memory. This book puts into perspective the spectacularization of the Other, a process that is at the origin of contemporary stereotypes and of the construction of our own identities. It allows us to understand the genesis of identity.
