  Book Description
  Publication Date: August 21,
2012
  Human–animal studies explores human–animal relations and the place of animals within
human social and cultural worlds. Considering that much of human society is structured through its interaction with
non-human animals, and since human society relies heavily on the exploitation of animals to serve human needs,
human–animal studies has become a rapidly expanding field of research, featuring a number of distinct positions,
perspectives, and theories that require nuanced explanation and contextualization.
  
  The first textbook to
provide a full overview of human–animal studies for students, general readers, and scholars, this volume focuses
on the conceptual construction of animals in American culture and the way in which it reinforces and perpetuates
hierarchical human relationships rooted in racism, sexism, and class privilege. Margo DeMello considers interactions
between humans and animals within the family, the law, the religious and political system, and other major social
institutions, and she unpacks the different identities humans fashion for themselves and for others through animals.
DeMello also covers speciesism and evolutionary continuities; the role and preservation of animals in the wild; the
debate over zoos and the use of animals in sports; domestication; agricultural practices such as factory farming;
vivisection; animal cruelty; animal activism; the representation of animals in literature and film; and animal ethics.
Sidebars in each chapter highlight contemporary controversies and issues, with recommendations for additional reading,
educational films, and related websites. DeMello concludes with an analysis of major philosophical positions on human
social policy and the future of human–animal relations.
  
  Reviews
  As one of the founders of this field and someone who has helped guide
its development, DeMello is uniquely situated to write this book. She does an admirable job detailing the history of
human--animal studies, its intricate relations to other fields, and its multi/interdisciplinarity. The right book at the
right time.(Claire Jean Kim, University of California, Irvine)
  
  A
'must' book to own and read. Each chapter is filled with insights extending our understanding of the role and meaning of
non-human animals in the modern age. Animals and Society is an essential addition to our bookshelves, required readings,
citations lists, and textbook adoptions.(Arnold Arluke, Northeastern
University)
  
  The first published text in human--animal studies, this volume undoubtedly sets
the standard. Comprehensive in scope, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary in approach, painstakingly researched and
wonderfully written, it should be the choice for human-animal studies courses in a variety of disciplines. A most
impressive accomplishment.(Clifton P. Flynn, University of South Carolina
Upstate)
  
  A valuable resource.... Recommended.(Choice)
  
  Animals and Society is a substantial encyclopedic resource for understanding the nature of our interactions
involving animals.(D. Wayne Dworsky San Francisco Book Review)
  
 
DeMello's book surpasses the typical textbook in offering a well-written overview of the field, with historical and
cultural coverage of the changing categorizations of animals, the social construction of animals, the various human use
of animals, attitudes toward animals, and symbolic manifestations of animals.(Zeteo)
  
  A well-considered and artfully structured work that provokes
thoughtful reflection and stimulates ideas for both theoretical and applied study; it is a worthwhile addition to my
library.(Anne McBride PsycCritiques 1900-01-00)
