Animal Subjects 2.0 - Paperback

by Jodey Castricano (Editor), Lauren Corman (Editor)

Exciting discussions in critical animal studies and posthumanism. Intertwining analyses of gender, disability, culture, and race into species, this collection demonstrates that respect for difference rather than similarity marks a vibrant turn in thinking about nonhuman animals, as well as our entangled relationships with them.
