Illuminating the lives of individual lions against the backdrop of societal change and colonial expansion, Hornstein constructs a fresh theoretical framework for thinking about animals as more than symbols or passive subjects and for acknowledging a history in which both humans and animals had a stake"--Dust jacket. 650 0 $a Lion in art. 650 0 $a Lion $x Symbolic aspects. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517012401.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013212.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E351FD24084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
