Publisher's Description
Traditional history overlooks non-human animals. But this book reinstates them as proper subjects of historical enquiry. Fourteen essays from the Journal of Animal Ethics by accomplished academics offer pioneering insights into what animal history is and how it should be done. The book is divided into sections covering the nature of animal history, selected intellectual figures, and historical controversies concerning meat eating and vivisection.

“Brilliantly dismantling the ‘us and them’ distinction, this thought-provoking collection places animals firmly back at the center of our historical thinking—subjects not objects, and fellow travelers through time. These engaging essays leave you in no doubt that animals matter. Their lives are key to our shared history. Their voices echo from the page as a call for us to do better in the future.”
