Secrets of The Human Zoos = Britain's Human Zoos (2023)
In a shocking and emotional expose, Nadifa Mohamed reveals how African people were trafficked to Western countries for entertainment – and experimentation. Starting in the 1890s, millions of Europeans and Americans encountered “native” Africans for the first time in person – in so-called “human zoos.” This deeply strange but once hugely popular form of “entertainment” starring trafficked people has been all but forgotten. Until now.
