Summary:"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.
