9781041111818: Dogs and Their Humans in Pacific Island Interspecies Cultures

Synopsis

Dogs and Their Humans in Pacific Island Interspecies Cultures explores diverse canine-human relationships in ancient and contemporary Polynesia, Micronesia, Melanesia, and Australia.

Anthropologically combining ethnographic, archaeological, biological, and linguistic evidence, the chapters demonstrate that from Hawaiian backyards to the Australian outback, both dogs and humans act differently depending on the cultural conditions connecting them in their multi-species communities.

This book rewards readers with a profound understanding of the intricate and dynamic relation-ships between dogs and humans, highlighting the significant impact these interspecies interac-tions have on shaping cultural and ecological landscapes.
