Imperial creatures: humans and other animals in colonial Singapore, 1819-1942
Barnard, Timothy P.
Imperial creatures: humans and other animals in colonial Singapore, 1819-1942 - Singapore: NUS Press, 2019. - xi, 264p.; pbk; 23cm
Includes bibliography and index
The environmental turn in the humanities and social sciences has meant a new focus on the history of animals. This is one of the first books to look across species at animals in a colonial, urban society. If imperialism is a series of power relationships, it involves not only the subjugation of human communities but also animals. What was the relationship between these two processes in colonial Singapore? How did various interactions with animals enable changes in interactions between people, and the expression of power in human terms?
