In this riveting, diverting dissection of that fractured relationship, Graham Huggan teases out apposite cultural, literary and historical resonance to present a gripping new portrait of an animal that continues to defy our understanding even as it inspires our admiration. Colonialism, Culture, Whales is a highly recommended voyage into the troubled, beautiful world shared by the human and the whale. * Philip Hoare, Professor of Creative Writing, University of Southampton, UK * Located at the nexus of ecocriticism, animal studies, postcolonial theory, and affect theory, Graham Huggans Colonialism, Culture, Whales: The Cetacean Quartet is a valuable recent study. * The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory *
