More about the book

Exploring the intersection of entertainment and cultural narratives, this book delves into the evolution of the modern circus between 1918 and 1945, emphasizing its ties to imperialism and nationalism. Through case studies of the German Sarrasani and British Bertram W. Mills' circuses, it reveals how these spectacles shaped national identities and perceptions of the 'other.' Utilizing diverse sources, it offers a transnational perspective on the circus as a reflection of interwar popular culture, highlighting themes of Orientalism and globalization.
