'Animal Spaces, beastly places is a useful collection which has inspired me to read more widely and more deeply as animal issues gain a higher profile on the world stage and close to home.' - Progress in Development Studies 2
From the Back Cover
In a myriad of ways, animals help make up the societies in which we humans live. People eat animals, wear products made from them, watch them in zoos or on television, keep them in their houses and in factory farms, hunt them and experiment on them and place them in mythology and stories.
Animal Spaces, Beastly Places examines how animals interact with people in different ways. Through a wide and comprehensive range of examples, which include feral cats and wild wolves, to domestic animals and intensively farmed cattle, the contributors explore the complex relations through which humans and non-human animals are mixed together. Our emotions involving animals range from those of love and compassion to untold cruelty, force, violence and power. As humans we have placed different animals into different categories, according to notions of species, usefulness, domesticity or wildness. As a result of these varying and often contested orderings, animals are assigned to particular places and spaces.
