Books by Les & Pauline Mitchell

Reading the animal text in the landscape of the damned (2019).

  • This is a fully referenced academic book, but written to be accessible to the non specialist. It concerns why we treat animals the way we do and as part of this also examines subjects such as racism, sexism, war and slavery. The first part sets up some theory and the final chapters try to draw it together, so chapter hopping is possible.
