Table of ContentsHuman ExhibitionsReviews'Andreassen looks beyond the Great Powers and shows us that human exhibitions were a trans-European phenomenon that had as much to do with defining white respectability as legitimising overseas conquests. Human Exhibitions is essential reading for anyone interested in the business of these shows, the agency of their performers, and the roots of debates over national belonging in Denmark today.' - Jeff Bowersox, University College London, UK 'Human Exhibitions provides a vital contribution to the emerging field of research that examines the relevance of postcolonial and critical race and whiteness studies in the Nordic region. The book sheds light on the forgotten histories of how colonial imaginaries and racial categorisations shaped media accounts and everyday lives at the turn of the twentieth century, as well as the shifting notions of race and racialisation. It will be essential reading for researchers seeking ways to understand today's multicultural societies and their historical legacies.' - Suvi Keskinen, University of Turku, Finland a Andreassen looks beyond the Great Powers and shows us that human exhibitions were a trans-European phenomenon that had as much to do with defining white respectability as legitimising overseas conquests.
