THE HUMAN ZOO
The visitorsâ guide to the fair promoted it as âan exhibit of processes, rather than of productsââmeaning, apparently, that the fair was a showcase of living exhibits. Certainly, the fair featured not just the output of foreign countries, but the actual people of foreign countries.
The fairâs theme was the advancement of civilization during the preceding century. That meant white civilization was setting the standard, showing the way for lesser societies to continue their upward climb. There were certainly Europeans at the fair, showing off their arts and mechanics, evidence of acknowledged civilization, but the exhibits that remain in memory are those of the less civilizedâeveryone elseâtrying to catch up.
