Ant (Reaktion Books - Animal)
'[Charlotte Sleigh's] stylish, engaging and informative study deserves to win new members for the ant fan club.'  -  The Times 'Sleigh begins with an overview of what myrmecologists believe today. But it's the various fears, fascinations and prejudices of laypersons with which Sleigh is concerned for the bulk of this very readable book.' - Independent on Sunday 'Even more impressive is Charlotte Sleigh's Ant, which makes clear how moralised interpretations of ant society have supported "Victorian platitudes, socialist utopias and Nazi eugenics". Ant imagery has featured in debates about colonialism, slavery and immigration.' - The Independent
