With Dogs at the Edge of Life

Dayan makes a powerful case for questioning what we think of as our deepest-held beliefs and, with dogs in the lead, unsettles the dubious promises of liberal humanism. She takes politics and animal studies in a new direction--one that gives us glimpses of how we can think beyond ourselves and with other beings. Theoretically sophisticated yet aimed at a broad readership, "With Dogs at the Edge of Life" illuminates how dogs--and their struggles--take us beyond sentimentality.
