    විද්‍යාව අහිංසක ද? විද්‍යාත්මක ජාතිවාදයේ ගොදුරක් වූ සාරා බාට්මන් (Sarah Baartman) දකුණු අප්‍රිකාවේ කොයිකෝයි කුලයට අයත් ඉපදුනු අතර තම ශරීරයේ ස්වභාවය නිසා යුරෝපයේදී ප්‍රදර්ශන භාණ්ඩයක් බවට පත්ව, මනුෂ්‍යයකු නොව සර්කස්වල පෙන්වන සතෙකු ලෙසින් සලකනු ලැබ, බොහෝ දුක් විඳ මිය ගියාය.

    The story of Saartjes Baartman, a Black domestic who, in 1808, left Southern Africa, then ruled by Dutch settlers, for Europe, following her boss Hendrick Caesar , hoping to find fame and fortune there. Once in London her master turned manager does nothing but exhibit her as a freak in a phony and humiliating carnival show. After a series of troubles caused by their act, Caesar, Saartje and their new friend, bear-tamer Réaux, head for Paris where once again, and against her will, she has to mimic savagery and expose her body, first in carnivals, then in the aristocratic salons of Paris, later on among the libertines and finally in brothels where she ends up being a prostitute. In the meantime, French anatomists will have taken an interest in her unusual anatomy (enormous buttocks and labia) only to declare her the missing link from ape to man. In 1815, aged only 27, she dies alone, of a combination of pneumonia and venereal disease.

    —Guy Bellinger
