This web page is to be informative to young people on what human zoo's are and how they are important in our history.
Lot's of times when we hear the word zoo we think of animals in a cage, well a human zoo is the exact same concept.
We used human zoo's in the late 19th century and early 20th century to
see how people lived in other areas.
Little did we know that it would become popular and it would be at the entertainments expense. I am relating
this topic to mainly hip-hop videos. Many times people in our culture would rather make money
than to realize how this has happened in our past. We objectify ourselves
to make it interesting.
While looking through this website please consider a few questions.
1) Do we construct our own identity?
2) Do women in Hip hop or Pop music have agency?
3) Do you feel that is it was right for these people to of been on display for pure science reasons?
This website is for pure entertainment and also an assignment for a class. Enjoy :)
