Animality and Colonial Subjecthood in Africa: The Human and Nonhuman Creatures o

Description: Animality and Colonial Subjecthood in Africa by Dr. Saheed Aderinto Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description From debates over the aesthetics of birds in the urban landscape to how horse racing enhanced imperial power to the ways in which water navigation impacted aquatic creatures, Saheed Aderinto argues that it is impossible to comprehend the full extent of imperial domination without considering the colonial subjecthood of animals. Publisher Description With this multispecies study of animals as instrumentalities of the colonial state in Nigeria, Saheed Aderinto argues that animals, like humans, were colonial subjects in Africa.Animality and Colonial Subjecthood in Africa broadens the historiography of animal studies by putting a diverse array of species (dogs, horses, livestock, and wildlife) into a single analytical framework for understanding colonialism in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.From his study of animals with unequal political, economic, social, and intellectual capabilities, Aderinto establishes that the core dichotomies of human colonial subjecthood--indispensable yet disposable, good and bad, violent but peaceful, saintly and lawless--were also embedded in the identities of Nigerias animal inhabitants. If class, religion, ethnicity, location, and attitude toward imperialism determined the pattern of relations between human Nigerians and the colonial government, then species, habitat, material value, threat, and biological and psychological characteristics (among other traits) shaped imperial perspectives on animal Nigerians. Conceptually sophisticated and intellectually engaging, Aderintos thesis challenges readers to rethink what constitutes history and to recognize that human agency and narrative are not the only makers of the past.
