Reviews

Morin's extraordinary book makes visceral the historical experience of cows who lived and died in the making of the settler colonial nation state. In a wholly unique analysis, we're transported through the archives, connecting us not only to individual animals as historical subjects but also to their contemporary ancestors who continue to be caught up in the violence of animal agriculture. This book movingly re-narrates the historical record, honoring those whose stories have, for so long, been all but erased.--Kathryn Gillespie ""author of The Cow with Ear Tag #1389"" This book will make a significant contribution to the field of animal studies and be essential reading for scholars interested in the fields of food production, animal welfare, and environmental history.--Kristen Guest ""Professor of English, University of Northern British Columbia""
