Publisher's Summary

What do we really know of the intimate - and intense - moments of care, kinship, violence, politics, indifference, and desire that occur between human and nonhuman animals?

Built on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in the mountain villages of India's Central Himalayas, Radhika Govindrajan's audiobook explores the number of ways that human and animal interact to cultivate relationships as interconnected, related beings. Whether it is through the study of the effect and ethics of ritual animal sacrifice, analysis of the right-wing political project of cow protection, or examination of villagers' talk about bears who abduct women and have sex with them, Govindrajan illustrates that multispecies relatedness relies on both difference and ineffable affinity between animals.

Interesting subject. Terrible narration.

Please redo the narration of this book with another narrator who can pronounce correctly.
