Animal Spaces, Beastly Places

"Animal Spaces, Beastly Places examines how animals interact with people in different ways. Through a wide and comprehensive range of examples, which range from 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 practices 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 worldly spaces wherein they are supposed to remain."--Jacket.
