[post_page_title]The human circus[/post_page_title]
The various Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Attractions throughout the United States still use images and displays of women from the Kayan Lahwi tribe to illustrate the different strange aspects of foreign cultures. Going a little further back, however, shows us the tribe’s women were once used as literal attractions, with circuses in the late 19th and early 20th century kidnapping them from their homelands and bringing them to Europe and the U.S. to serve as public displays. Even famous outfits such as Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus participated in the practice.
