In The War against Animals, Dinesh Wadiwel draws on critical political theory to provideprovocative account of how our mainstay relationships with animals are founded upon systemic hostility and bio-political sovereign violence.
レビュー
In this rich, dense text, Wadiwel (Univ. of Sydney, Australia) frames the degrees of violence and exploitation of animals in industry, food production, and other human-centric exploitations in rigorous theoretical conversations ranging from politics and governance to how life is valued or devalued, and to how humans measure the capacities of animals to enjoy rights and sovereignty. The book could serve ascentral text incourse focused on animal ethics/rights...It could also work well ascase-study reading fortheory-based course. --S. M. Weiss, Rochester Institute of Technology, CHOICE, May 2016 Vol. 53 No. 9.
