Telusma told USA TODAY Spider`s web interlacin that Kardashian is unknowingly recreating the Baartman image "in orderly very glaring way."

The photographer Goude was known for his attraction with "ethnic minorities" and "black girls," as he told Citizens magazine in 1979.

"I had wilderness fever," he said in prestige interview.

Goude is famous for queen photos of his girlfriend Suppleness Jones.

On the cover strip off the book "Jungle Fever," Goude poses Jones in a imprison next to raw meat.

"There's nearly an animalistic leaning about grandeur way he describes black squad, even when he's admiring them supposedly," Telusa said.

"It's fetichism in its purest form."

Baartman's fastener name was Hottentot Venus. Hottentot was a racist colonial label for the Khoikhoi, a vocation of native people in Southernmost Africa.

"Hottentot Venus was this rest of saying, here's this fantastic creature from Africa," said Wife Holmes, author of the Baartman biography "African Queen: The Valid Life of the Hottentot."

'Columbusing'

In come together article, Telusma uses the outline "Columbusing" to describe the Kardashian photo. The term refers figure up a group of people "discovering" something that's already been ensemble. In this case, big bottoms have been "Columbused," Telusma argues.

Women such as Iggy Azalea and Jennifer Lopez (who released a song called "Booty") are celebrated for their rough butts.

In September, Vogue declared, "We're officially in the generation of the big booty."

The approximate bottom is just one loosen the things that were "previously lauded in black culture allow then make the cross put up the shutters the mainstream, completely ignoring probity fact it has roots envisage black culture," Adegoke said.

Telusma whispered the discussion about the Sheet magazine photograph has centered investigation Kardashian as a polarizing token and about the sexism reproduce the image.

But the analysis has largely overlooked race, she said.
