Today we will look at a range of tribal types in a two part set. We start with a photo made
by Prince Roland Bonapart of France. The prince was a well educated man who did valuable ethnographic work which was not considered exploitative by subsequent commentators.
Good post. I have quite an interest in natural naked indigenous people's from all over the world. Unfortunately there are very few left who still live naked, and twisted-up groups are trying to remove any pictures of naked peoples.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the series, Gerald. I enjoy collecting these pictures, and I always try to post material that is either not exploitative or is instructive in terms of showing how some indigenous peoples were taken advantage of.
DeleteDer Khoikhoi-Völker Namibias und Südafrikas - der Bergriff Hottentotten gilt heute als abwertend.
ReplyDeletePrinz Bonaparte hatte Respekt vor den Ureinwohnern Afrikas. :)
Ihr Volk in Namibia, dem damaligen Deutsche-Südwestafrika, wurde zwischen 1904 bis 1907 auf kaiserlichen Befehl zusammen mit den Herero und Damara einen Völkermord ausgesetzt.
Wie König Leopold ll von Belgien, kleibt auch Kaiser Wilhelm ll, afrikanisches Blut an seinen Händen. :(
