David Grazian presents an ethnographic examination of the modern American zoo, exploring how these institutions function as complex stages for human interaction and cultural performance. By observing the behaviors of both visitors and animals, the author reveals the inherent contradictions between the zoo's roles as a site for entertainment, education, and wildlife conservation.
