Savages: The Story of Human Zoos
"The barbarian is, first and foremost, the man who believes in barbarism"
Overview
For more than a century the great colonial powers put human beings, taken by force from their native lands, on show as entertainment, just like animals in zoos; a shameful, outrageous and savage treatment of people who were considered subhuman.
