Colonialism and Animality (eBook, PDF)

Anti-Colonial Perspectives in Critical Animal Studies
Redaktion: Struthers Montford, Kelly; Taylor, Chloë

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The fields of settler colonial, decolonial, and postcolonial studies, as well as Critical Animal Studies are growing rapidly, but how do the implications of these endeavours intersect? Colonialism and Animality: Anti-Colonial Perspectives in Critical Animal Studies explores some of the ways that the oppression of Indigenous persons and more-than-human animals are interconnected.

Composed of 12 chapters by an international team of specialists plus a Foreword by Dinesh Wadiwel, the book is divided into four themes:

• Tensions and Alliances between Animal and Decolonial Activisms
• Revisiting the Stereotypes of Indigenous Peoples' Relationships with Animals
• Cultural Perspectives
• Colonialism, Animals, and the Law

This book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students, activists, as well as postdoctoral scholars, working in the areas of Critical Animal Studies, Native Studies, postcolonial and critical race studies, with particular chapters being of interest to scholars and students in other fields, such as Cultural Studies, Animal Law and Critical Criminology.
