Beskrivelse
Examines the way in which community leaders in the US successfully advocated for zoo construction in the 1930s in the context of poverty and widespread suffering, arguing that they provided employment, stimulated tourism, and democratized leisure. Of particular interest is the rise of the zoo professional, which paved the way for science and conservation agendas.
