Love in a time of slaughters : human-animal stories against genocide and extinction / Susan McHugh.

• Introduction : when species meet on killing fields -- Dying animal gods : metaphysical potentials -- Taxidermy remains : on the vitality of lifeless bodies -- Pacific currents : becoming usefully dead -- Saharan nonexistence : edging near death camps -- Arctic nomadology : Inuit stories of the mountie sled dog massacre -- The birds and the bees, or life after sex -- Conclusion : taking and making love stories.

• "Explores a narrative pattern in which storytellers revisit instances of genocide and extinction not simply to reveal historical erasures of whole populations but also to rearticulate lifeways premised on cross-species interdependence. Focuses on recovering a sense of affective bonds shared across species lines"--Provided by publisher.
