Political Animals Public Art in American Zoos

iPolitical Animalsi offers a unique study and perspective on the relationship between politics and the art found in American zoos and aquariums. Jesse Donahue and Erik Trump examine the ways that zoos and aquariums have successfully served as sculptural gardens for the masses and have incorporated art and architecture that convey political messages about both the patrons and the animals.

Erik Trump is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Saginaw Valley State University.
