Description
Beings and Beasts: Human-animal Relations at the Margins offers a groundbreaking examination of how humans and animals coexist in spaces of social, economic, and political marginalization. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and interdisciplinary perspectives, Ambika Aiyadurai and Prashant Ingole investigate the nuanced dynamics between humans and animals in contexts often overlooked by mainstream academia.
The book explores how class, caste, gender, and other social hierarchies intersect with human-animal relationships, revealing how marginalized communities develop distinct approaches to living with animals. Through compelling case studies and theoretical frameworks, the authors challenge conventional assumptions about animal agency, personhood, and the boundaries between human and non-human worlds. This work contributes significantly to animal studies, anthropology, and environmental humanities.
