Human ethnological displays, promised to take visitors "around the world for fifty pennies," providing a form of popular entertainment in late-nineteenth and early twentieth-century Germany while also satisfying deepening European curiosities about exotic peoples and places. For the Samoans-many of high social status-who traveled to Germany to take part in völkerschauen, the displays were seen as an opportunity to establish political ties with the colonial power. From Samoa With Love? traces the history of these displays of "typically" Samoan forms of music, dance, and weapons performance that could be found in amusement parks, zoos, and even at Oktoberfest.
