Multispecies Modernity

Explore the intricate relationships between animals and humans in postcolonial India with Multispecies Modernity by Sundhya Walther. Published by Wilfrid Laurier University Press in 2021, this thought-provoking hardback spans 238 pages and delves into the iconic spaces of the wild, the body, the home, and the city. Through a diverse array of texts—ranging from fiction and journalism to life writing, film, and visual art—Walther presents a compelling argument that a distinctively Indian form of modernity emerges from these vibrant, disorderly multispecies interactions. Perfect for readers interested in cultural studies, postcolonial theory, and environmental humanities, this book invites you to rethink modernity through the lens of multispecies coexistence. Discover how these relationships shape our understanding of modern life in India today.
