Abstract

The book exposes scientific racism in the era of imperialism, when the colonizing countries endeavored to demonstrate their conquests in (and from) other territories, claiming to take “civilization” to primitive peoples. One of these practices was the display of people in what was conventionally called human zoos. The book is of great interest as it illustrates admirably well a recent (and deplorable) phase of the History of colonialism and imperialism, whose repercussions and consequences we feel and perceive today, in which we have identified a certain preeminence of unique thinking and a good deal of denial, which has only contributed to perpetuate racism, intolerance to differences, inequalities and to continue to accept a certain neo-colonialist stance, even within organizations.
