EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "War Exercises: Amazons, warriors and feticheurs dahomeens (now Benin)" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured in 1891, the engraving featured in "Le petit Parisien" showcases an intriguing scene from the garden of acclimatization in Paris, also known as the Human Zoo. The image transports us to a time when colonialism was at its peak and ethnological exposure was seen as a form of entertainment. In this particular display, we witness African natives from Dahomey (now Benin) engaging in war exercises alongside Amazons and warriors. The composition is strikingly black and white, emphasizing the stark contrast between cultures. The print serves as a reminder of how societies once viewed different populations through an exotic lens. It highlights the French fascination with exploring foreign lands and showcasing their conquests within human zoos. This controversial practice raises questions about exploitation and cultural appropriation that still resonate today. As we reflect on this historical artifact, it is essential to approach it with sensitivity and acknowledge its context within our shared past. Through understanding these complex narratives, we can strive for greater inclusivity and respect for all cultures in our present-day society.
