Synopsis

The book focuses on animal agency and interactions between humans and animals. It explores the reciprocity of human-animal relations and the capacity of animals to act and shape human societies. The chapters draw on examples from the Global North to explore questions of how industrialization, urbanization, and human life in modernity have been and are shaped by the sentience, autonomy, and physicality of various animals, particularly in landscapes where communities and wild animals exist in close proximity. This book offers timely contribution to animal studies, environmental history, and social science and humanities studies of the environment more broadly.
