Africa and Her Animals : Philosophical and Practical Perspectives, Paperback / softback Book

Africa and Her Animals : Philosophical and Practical Perspectives Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Africa and Her Animals challenges the common view that animals are essentially inferior to human beings: it is both the start of a long overdue conversation and a call to action. Non-human animals, essential to the everyday lives and well-being of Africans, impact and are affected by African societies in diverse ways.

Africa and Her Animals investigates and analyses the moral, social, cultural, religious, and legal status of non-human animals in Africa.

The contributors, drawn from a wide range of countries and specialist fields, purposefully demonstrate how theoretical and practical issues are inextricably linked, illustrating the importance of transcending disciplinary boundaries, and showing how scholars and practitioners can benefit greatly from genuine and sustained interaction with each other.

Their research provides a fresh understanding of the philosophical, religious, and scientific underpinnings of the issues at the heart of the human-animal relationship in Africa. Africa and Her Animals is a valuable source of information and inspiration for researchers, students, development and NGO workers, policy makers, animal rights activists, and all who work with, or are interested in, animals in Africa.
