Critical Animal Geographies provides new geographical perspectives
on critical animal studies, exploring the spatial, political, and
ethical dimensions of animals' lived experience and human-animal
encounter. It works toward a more radical politics and theory
directed at the shifting boundary between human and animal.
Chapters draw together feminist, political-economic, post-humanist,
anarchist, post-colonial, and critical race literatures with
original case studies in order to see how efforts by some humans to
control and order life - human and not - violate, constrain, and
impinge upon others. Central to all chapters is a commitment to
grappling with the stakes - violence, death, life, autonomy - of
human-animal encounters. Equally, the work in the collection
addresses head-on the dominant forces shaping and dependent on
these encounters: capitalism, racism, colonialism, and so on. In
doing so, the book pushes readers to confront how human-animal
relations are mixed up with overlapping axes of power and
exploitation, including gender, race, class, and species.
