It contends that the colonial project of animal protection in late nineteenth-century Bengal mirrored an irony. Emerging notions of public health and debates on cruelty against animals exposed the disjunction between the claims of a benevolent Empire and a powerful imperial reality where the state constantly sought to discipline its subjects-both human and nonhuman. Centered around stories of animals as diseased, eaten, and overworked, the book shows how such contests over appropriate measures for controlling animals became part of wider discussions surrounding environmental ethics, diet, sanitation, and the politics of race and class. The author combines history with archive, arguing that colonial humanitarianism was not only an idiom of rule, but was also translated into Bengali dietetics, anxieties, vegetarianism, and vigilantism, the effect of which can be seen in contemporary politics of animal slaughter in India."-- $c Publisher description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 252-265) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Writing Embodied Histories-Humans and Non-humans in Nature, Science, and Imperialism -- Historicizing Humanitarianism in Colonial India -- The Politics of Care: Veterinarians and Humanitarians -- Meat: To Eat or Not to Eat? -- The Anomaly of 'Animal': Unburdening the Beast -- Conclusion: Liminal Boundaries, Colonial Ironies. 648 7 $a 1765-1947 $2 fast 650 0 $a Animal welfare $z Bengal $z Bengal $x History. 650 0 $a Humanitarianism $z Bengal $z Bengal $x History. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships $z Bengal $z Bengal $x History. 650 0 $a Food of animal origin $x History. $z Bengal $z Bengal $x History. 650 0 $a Meat $x History. $z Bengal $z Bengal $x History. 650 0 $a Slaughtering and slaughter-houses $x History. $z Bengal $z Bengal $x History. 650 7 $a Human-animal relationships $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963482 650 7 $a Animal welfare $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809431 650 7 $a Humanitarianism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963578 651 0 $a India $x History $y British occupation, 1765-1947. 651 7 $a India $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 651 7 $a India $z Bengal $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01213579 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717020530.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3A78EA8A440211EF98CC15ED37ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
