Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
"Developing upon emerging environmental humanities and multispecies anthropological
theories, this book provides a fresh perspective on how we might rethink more-than-human
relationality and why it is important to 'nurture alternative futures'. It examines
the life trajectories of people, animals, plants, and microbes, their lived experiences
and constituted relationality, offering new ways to reinterpret and reimagine a multi-species
future in the era of current planetary crises. The ethnographic case studies from
around the world feature a combination of biological and cultural diversity with analyses
that prioritize local and Indigenous modes of thinking. While engaging with Mongolian
herders, Indigenous Yucatec Mayan, Congolese farmers, rural Pakistani donkey keepers,
Australian heritage breed farmers, Croatian cheesemakers, Japanese oyster aquafarmers,
Texan corn growers, Californian cannabis producers, or Hindu devotees to the Ganges
River, the chapters offer a grounded anthropological understanding of imagining a
future in relationality with other beings. The stories, lived experiences, and mutual
worlding that this volume presents offer a portrayal of alternative forms of multispecies
coexistence, rather than an anthropocentric future"
