Animal Genocide and its Aftermath: The Tasmanian Tiger and the Newfoundland Wolf

Nicholas Chare

In this exacting assessment of the bounty policies enacted against the Tasmanian Tiger and the Newfoundland Wolf, Animal Genocide and its Aftermath provides a much-needed reappraisal of the legal, political, and social definition of animal killing. Analyzing natural history collections and cultural representations, this book advances a compelling case for viewing the bounty schemes as a form of genocide that requires its own historical reckoning. Ethical issues regarding the evocation of animal genocide in film, literature, photography and museum exhibitions are also explored.

Introduction: Staying-With Palestine. Making and Remaking Postcolonial Worlds

Arpan Roy

Extrajudicial arrest, termination from employment, suspension of university enrollment, being declared persona non-grata (Karl 2025), police violence at demonstrations, harassment at airports, online doxxing, and, in the case of six-year old Wadea al-Fayoume, a martyrdom in a strange land—these are some of the ways in which solidarity with Palestine has, since October 2023, been rebuked in the Global North in unprecedented ways. We do not yet know the longue durée of how the annihilation of Gaza and the genocide of its people will recalibrate the way in which the world relates to Palestine.

Skill, Sticky Hands, and the Serenity Prayer

Eleanor Andrews

I was hesitant when, in 2009, my then-boyfriend, Tyler, asked if I were interested in keeping bees. I did not much care for honey and was alarmed by the prospect of stings. But when we ended up renting an apartment with a small orchard in the yard, we decided to give it a shot. We proudly documented the first few weeks and months, with photos that I now recognize as miscaptioned; the oversized gloves I wore on the day I dumped our new bees into a hive make me laugh now!
