Summary: "Spanning the 19the and 20th centuries, Animalia examines the role of animals across jurisdictions of British imperial control. In this unconventional approach to both animal and imperial studies, contributors challenge the boundaries between animal and non-animal worlds by illustrating how and why a variety of real and mythical "creatures" shaped the history of modern anglophone empire. The bestiary offers a non-linear approach to thinking imperial power, its limits and possibilities, through a history of symbolic and material animal forms"-- Provided by publisher.
