This edited volume examines the complex entanglements of human,
animal, and environmental health. It assembles leading scholars
from the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and
medicine to explore existing One Health approaches and to envision
a mode of health that is both more-than-human and also more
sensitive to, and explicit about, colonial and neocolonial
legacies-urging the decolonization of One Health. While
acknowledging the importance of One Health, the volume at the same
time critically examines its roots, highlighting the structural
biases and power dynamics still at play in this global health
regime. The volume is distinctive in its geographic breadth. It
travels from Inuit sled dogs in the Arctic to rock hyraxes in
Jerusalem, from black-faced spoonbills in Taiwan to street dogs in
India, from spittle-bugs on Mallorca's almond trees to jellyfish
management at sea, and from rabies in sub-Saharan Africa to massive
culling practices in South Korea. Together, the contributors call
for One Health to move toward a more transparent, plural, and just
perception of health that takes seriously the role of
more-than-humans and of nonscientific knowledges, pointing to ways
in which One Health can-and should-be decolonized. This volume will
appeal to researchers and practitioners in the medical humanities,
posthumanities, environmental humanities, science and technology
studies, animal studies, multispecies ethnography, anthrozoology,
and critical public health. The Open Access version of chapter 1,
