Human Zoos - America's Forgotten History of Scientific Racism

Ota Benga: The Pygmy in the Zoo

Ota Benga: The Pygmy in the Zoo by Phillips Verner Bradford and Harvey Blume is another book exploring the tragic story of Ota Benga. Bradford was a descendant of Samuel Verner, the man who bought Ota Benga and had him put on public display. The book is provides additional information that is interesting, but it also is somewhat uncritical when describing the relationship between Benga and Verner. PURCHASE
