Animal Genocide and its Aftermath

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.
