Animals were vital to the British colonization of Myanmar. In this
pathbreaking history of British imperialism in Myanmar from the
early nineteenth century to 1942, Jonathan Saha argues that animals
were impacted and transformed by colonial subjugation. By examining
the writings of Burmese nationalists and the experiences of
subaltern groups, he also shows how animals were mobilized by
Burmese anticolonial activists in opposition to imperial rule. In
demonstrating how animals - such as elephants, crocodiles, and rats
- were important actors never fully under the control of humans,
Saha uncovers a history of how British colonialism transformed
ecologies and fostered new relationships with animals in Myanmar.
Colonizing Animals introduces the reader to an innovative
historical methodology for exploring interspecies relationships in
the imperial past, using innovative concepts for studying
interspecies empires that draw on postcolonial theory and critical
animal studies.
