Kritik
"Centering Animals in Latin American History breaks new ground. In intellectually sophisticated essays, the contributors suggest that by providing a new history of animals, we can not only understand more about the human/animal divide, but also break down the category of the human, interrogate nature, and analyze the form in which the past becomes history. In this way, this collection writes animals into Latin American history." - Pete Sigal,author of The Flower and the Scorpion: Sexuality and Ritual in Early Nahua Culture "In this engaging and generative collection of essays, editors Martha Few and Zeb Tortorici take us beyond the implications of the Columbian Exchange to show how a wide range of animals - including locusts, cattle, monkeys, fur seals, llamas, birds, and goats - actively shaped Latin American history and culture. Centering Animals does more than just restore animals to visibility while examining human ideas about and practices toward nonhuman animals: it makes it impossible to look at Latin American history without taking into consideration the nonhuman animals that materially and symbolically co-created our world." - Brett Mizelle,author of Pigmehr
