- Title
Animality and Colonial Subjecthood in Africa: The Human and Nonhuman Creatures of Nigeria.
- Authors
Eze, Odinaka Kingsley
- Abstract
First, he uses a multispecies lens, woven around micro and macro narratives, suavely moving from dogs to donkeys, to cattle, to horses in many parts of Nigeria as well as the metropole. Similarly, Aderinto weaves donkeys, cattle, and horses into the tapestry of the colonial political economy. In two equally paradoxical but complementary sections, Aderinto employs different animals to locate the convergence of the built environment, veterinary and human medicine, welfare, modernism, and nationalism.
