Reading the animal in the literature of the British Raj /
Rajamannar, Shefali.
New York : Palgrave Macmillan,
2012.
"This book discusses the production and circulation of animal narratives in colonial India in order to investigate the manner in which constructs of animals played into a variety of forms of othering that took place in England during its imperial venture. Shefali Rajamannar reads imperialism through a posthumanist critique, arguing that race, class, gender, age, and species do not exist in isolation but must be read in intimate relation to one another"--Provided by publisher.
