Foraging across the disciplines and moving between ideas and methods drawn from postcolonial criticism, animal studies, and environmental humanities, the book critically examines the colonial histories of whaling, their legacies in contemporary tourism from whale-watching excursions to the performing orcas at SeaWorld, and cultural representations of anxieties about extinction in recent literature, television, and film. Extensively researched and engagingly written, the four essays that comprise \u003ci\u003eThe Cetacean Quartet\u003c\/i\u003eshould appeal to scholars in a number of different fields as well as to general readers interested in finding out more about our enduring, guilt-ridden fascination with one of the world's most iconic living creatures, the whale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Huggan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350150851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350150850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.32d","brand":"Graham Huggan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941426102527,"sku":"9781350150850","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3c570f7e-3213-4212-a0a3-3672fdc6c0da.jpg?v=1681452860","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/colonialism-culture-whales-graham-huggan-9781350150850","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
