There is perhaps no better demonstration than the divide in their respective ways of relating to animals. In The Tame and the Wild, Marcy Norton tells a new history of the colonization of the Americas, one that places wildlife and livestock at the center of the story. She reveals that the encounters between European and Native American beliefs about animal life transformed societies on both sides of the Atlantic. Europeans' strategies and motives for conquest were inseparable from the horses that carried them in military campaigns and the dogs they deployed to terrorize Native peoples. Even more crucial were the sheep, cattle, pigs, and chickens whose flesh became food and whose skins became valuable commodities. Yet as central as the domestication of animals was to European plans in the Americas, Native peoples' own practices around animals proved just as crucial in shaping the world after 1492. Cultures throughout the Caribbean, Amazonia, and Mexico were deeply invested in familiarization: the practice of capturing wild animals--not only parrots and monkeys but even tapir, deer, and manatee--and turning some of them into "companion species." These taming practices not only influenced the way Indigenous people responded to human and nonhuman intruders but also transformed European culture itself, paving the way for both zoological science and the modern pet."-- $c Publisher's website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 339-420) and index. 505 00 $t Epilogue. $t Objectifying Livestock -- $t Conquering Animals -- $t Absorbing Prey -- $t Taming Strangers -- $t Hunting Ecologies -- $t Nourishing Bodies -- $t Transforming Animals -- $t Adopting Domesticates -- $t Becoming Pets -- $t Indigenizing Science -- $t Epilogue. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships $z America $x History. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Animals and civilization $z America $x History. 650 0 $a Animals and civilization $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Indians $x First contact with other peoples. 650 0 $a Europeans $x First contact with other peoples. 650 0 $a Human ecology $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Human ecology $z America $x History. 650 0 $a Indians $x Colonization. 650 7 $a Animals and civilization $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809565 650 7 $a Colonization $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868483 650 7 $a Europeans $x First contact with other peoples $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02040323 650 7 $a Human-animal relationships $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963482 650 7 $a Human ecology $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962941 650 7 $a Indians $x First contact with other peoples $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969339 651 0 $a America $x Colonization. 651 7 $a America $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239786 651 7 $a Europe $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320011106.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=386250C8E67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
