Critical Animal Geographies provides new geographical perspectives on critical animal studies, exploring the spatial, political and ethical dimensions of animals¿ lived experience and human-animal encounter. It works toward a more radical politics and theory directed at the shifting boundary between human and animal. Chapters draw together feminist, political-economic, post-humanist, anarchist, post-colonial, and critical race literatures with original case studies in order to see how efforts by some humans to control and order life ¿ human and not ¿ violate, constrain and impinge upon others. Central to all chapters is a commitment to grappling with the stakes ¿ violence, death, life, autonomy ¿ of human-animal encounters. Equally, the work in the collection addresses head-on the dominant forces shaping ¿ and dependent on ¿ these encounters: capitalism, racism, colonialism, and so on. In doing so, the book pushes readers to confront how human-animal relations are mixed up with overlapping axes of power and exploitation, including gender, race, class, and species.
