Human Zoos: Science and Spectacle in the Age of Empire
Based on the volume "Zoos Humains", this title 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 takes us to the heart of Western fantasies, and allows us to understand the genesis of identity in Japan, Europe and North America.
