This book demonstrates how horse breeding is entwined with human
societies and identities. It explores issues of lineage, purity,
and status by exploring interconnections between animals and
humans. The quest for purity in equine breed reflects and evolves
alongside human subjectivity shaped by categories of race, gender,
class, region, and nation. Focusing on various horse breeds, from
the Chincoteague Pony to Brazilian Crioulo and the Arabian horse,
each chapter in this collection considers how human and animal
identities are shaped by practices of breeding and categorizing
domesticated animals. Bringing together different historical,
geographical, and disciplinary perspectives, this book will appeal
to academics, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students,
in the fields of human-animal studies, sociology, environmental
studies, cultural studies, history, and literature.
