==Description==
The focus of ''Voyeurs & Savages'' – Yuzon's second novel after the ''Great Philippine Jungle Energy Café'' – are the Filipino and American participants during the 1904 St. Louis World Exposition (formally known as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and informally as the Saint Louis World's Fair) held in the United States, and eventually the descendants of these exhibition partakers living during the latter part of the 1990s. The Filipino participants during the exposition at St. Louis, Missouri in the United States are the Kankanai tribal people. The Americans are the exposition team members and the visitors at the exposition. According to book reviewer Vicente G. Groyon III, the novel tackled the situation wherein the Filipinos and the Americans both acted as "voyeurs" or "watchers" – observers and scrutinizers of each other – an interaction between the surveyor and the surveyed, and between the colonizer and the colonized. In Yuzon's novel both races acted as "Peeping Toms" who engaged in "private and public acts of self-gratification and humiliation".〔
