Alice Higgs engages with on-going debates regarding reconciliation by demonstrating that it is imperative to critique settler colonial environmental frameworks and place autonomy back into Indigenous communities by bringing Indigenous practices of custodianship and relationality to bear more generally. This book also develops a number of conversations in animal studies in relation to the politics of representation. Higgs studies a range of canonical Canadian authors, demonstrating a progress across the period in which it is possible to identify the emergence of a literary pro-animal turn. Alice Higgs is a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Roehampton. She has held Honorary Researcher status at the University of Kent, host to The Centre for Indigenous and Settler Colonial Studies, and she has been a long-term member of the Animal Studies Research Centre at the University of Sheffield. Her research looks at the representation of human-animal relationships in contemporary North American literature. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Animals and Literature,$x2634-6346 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aEcocriticism 606 $aFiction 606 $aAnimal welfare$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aPostcolonialism 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aEcocriticism 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aAnimal Ethics 606 $aPostcolonial Philosophy 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aEcocriticism. 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aAnimal welfare$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aPostcolonialism. 615 14$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aEcocriticism. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aAnimal Ethics. 615 24$aPostcolonial Philosophy. 676 $a813.5409 700 $aHiggs$b Alice$01437337 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910760249603321 996 $aAnimal Fiction in Late Twentieth-Century Canada$93598009 997 $aUNINA
