Reviews

'To create a future where humans and other animals are free, we need inspiring visions to guide us. After all, we can only create what we can imagine. Over 14 chapters, this collection offers much needed examples and visions of more liberatory ways of seeing and relating to our animal cousins, providing glimpses of what this promises, and helping us uncover pathways to create these alternative futures.' Dr Laila Kassam, Animal Think Tank, UK 'Taking us across sanctuaries, neighbourhood trees, dovecotes, and design projects, Arcari’s curation of ‘heterotopia’ shows why and how noticings and imaginings of possibilities otherwise are imperative for liberatory politics to be conceivable and hence actionable. Each chapter exuding care, this groundbreaking collection heralds a momentous generational shift in animal studies, composing a conceptual insurrection, a new political grammar, and critically, a tangible cartography for radicalising human-to-animal alliances.' Associate Professor Yamini Narayana, Deakin University, Australia
