Description: | Select Guide Rating 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. |
