Four days a week the three Gomez boys come to the Austin Irving Branch to do their homework after school. This program is made possible by generous donors to the Chicago Public Library Foundation. “It’s a good habit,” says their dad Hugo. “The discipline keeps them on task. They get their homework done and then they are free to play outside.” Monday through Thursday, the Gomez boys are met by Gary Yamagiwa, who works with them, and as many as 60 other students each week. Gary is one of several dozen “Gary is nice, friendly, helpful and certified teachers who make up the TIL corps.

    Menagerie to Me / My Neighbor Be”: Exotic Animals and American Conscience, 1840-1900

    “MENAGERIE TO ME / MY NEIGHBOR BE”: EXOTIC ANIMALS AND AMERICAN CONSCIENCE, 1840-1900 Leslie Jane McAbee A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Eliza Richards Timothy Marr Matthew Taylor Ruth Salvaggio Jane Thrailkill © 2018 Leslie Jane McAbee ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Leslie McAbee: “Menagerie to me / My Neighbor be”: Exotic Animals and American Conscience, 1840-1900 (Under the direction of Eliza Richards) Throughout the nineteenth century, large numbers of living “exotic” animals—elephants, lions, and tigers—circulated throughout the U.S. in traveling menageries, circuses, and later zoos as staples of popular entertainment and natural history education. In “Menagerie to me / My Neighbor be,” I study literary representations of these displaced and sensationalized animals, offering a new contribution to Americanist animal studies in literary scholarship, which has largely attended to the cultural impact of domesticated and native creatures. The field has not yet adequately addressed the influence that representations of foreign animals had on socio-cultural discourses, such as domesticity, social reform, and white supremacy. I examine how writers enlist exoticized animals to variously advance and disrupt the human-centered foundations of hierarchical thinking that underpinned nineteenth-century tenets of civilization, particularly the belief that Western culture acts as a progressive force in a comparatively barbaric world. Both well studied and lesser-known authors, however, find “exotic” animal figures to be wily for two seemingly contradictory reasons.

  • Who Knows What About Gorillas? Indigenous Knowledge, Global Justice, and Human-Gorilla Relations Volume: 5 Adam Pérou Hermans Amir, Ph.D

    Who Knows What About Gorillas? Indigenous Knowledge, Global Justice, and Human-Gorilla Relations Volume: 5 Adam Pérou Hermans Amir, Ph.D

    IK: Other Ways of Knowing Peer Reviewed Who Knows What About Gorillas? Indigenous Knowledge, Global Justice, and Human-Gorilla Relations Volume: 5 Adam Pérou Hermans Amir, Ph.D. Pg. 1-40 Communications Coordinator, Tahltan Central Government The gorillas of Africa are known around the world, but African stories of gorillas are not. Indigenous knowledge of gorillas is almost entirely absent from the global canon. The absence of African accounts reflects a history of colonial exclusion, inadequate opportunity, and epistemic injustice. Discounting indigenous knowledge limits understanding of gorillas and creates challenges for justifying gorilla conservation. To be just, conservation efforts must be endorsed by those most affected: the indigenous communities neighboring gorilla habitats. As indigenous ways of knowing are underrepresented in the very knowledge from which conservationists rationalize their efforts, adequate justification will require seeking out and amplifying African knowledge of gorillas. In engaging indigenous knowledge, outsiders must reflect on their own ways of knowing and be open to a dramatically different understanding. In the context of gorillas, this means learning other ways to know the apes and indigenous knowledge in order to inform and guide modern relationships between humans and gorillas. Keywords: Conservation, Epistemic Justice, Ethnoprimatology, Gorilla, Local Knowledge, Taboos 1.0 Introduction In the Lebialem Highlands of Southwestern Cameroon, folk stories tell of totems shared between gorillas and certain people. Totems are spiritual counterparts. Herbalists use totems to gather medicinal plants; hunting gorillas puts them in doi 10.26209/ik560158 danger. If the gorilla dies, the connected person dies as well (Etiendem 2008). In Lebialem, killing a gorilla risks killing a friend, elder, or even a chief (fon).

This book is being dedicated to the men and women who work with the primates at the Milwaukee County Zoo, Milwaukee, WI. All proceeds from this book will be given to The Great Ape Heart Project at The Milwaukee County Zoo 4 INTRODUCTION Not a day goes by at The Milwaukee County Zoo that a staff me1nber or a volunteer doesn't hear a visitor say, "I remember Samson." He was as well known as Fonzie, LaVerne and Shirley, and even Milwaukee's politicians. Many people at that time came to the zoo just to see Samson. His reputation extended far beyond the state of Wisconsin. Many felt he was the largest gorilla in captivity. It was reported that a story about him appeared in a Bankok newspaper and that his picture was exhibited in a primate center in Japan. He had even been mentioned in several books about gorillas. Samson became an ambassador not only for the zoo, but for gorillas in general, since at that time there were only a few in captivity and little was known about them. I felt, however, that a story of Samson needed to be expanded somewhat to incorporate information on zoos and the developn1ent and evaluation of gorillas in captivity.
