Human Zoos

Discover the haunting legacy of colonialism in Pascal Blanchard's compelling book, Human Zoos. Published in 2008, this insightful work spans 452 pages and delves into the forgotten symbols of human zoos, which have been largely erased from our collective memory.

By examining the historical context and social aspects of these exhibitions, Human Zoos invites readers to reflect on the origins of identity and the lasting impact of racism in society. This book is essential for anyone interested in anthropology, ethnology, and the historical narratives that continue to affect us today.
