{"product_id":"equestrian-cultures-kristen-guest-9780226589510","title":"Equestrian Cultures: Horses, Human Society, and the Discourse of Modernity","description":"As much as dogs, cats, or any domestic animal, horses exemplify the vast range of human-animal interactions. Horses have long been deployed to help with a variety of human activities--from racing and riding to police work, farming, warfare, and therapy--and have figured heavily in the history of natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities. Most accounts of the equine-human relationship, however, fail to address the last few centuries of Western history, focusing instead on pre-1700 interactions. \u003ci\u003eEquestrian Cultures\u003c\/i\u003e fills in the gap, telling the story of how prominently horses continue to figure in our lives, up to the present day. \u003cbr\u003e ​ \u003cbr\u003e Kristen Guest and Monica Mattfeld place the modern period front and center in this collection, illuminating the largely untold story of how the horse has responded to the accelerated pace of modernity. The book's contributors explore equine cultures across the globe, drawing from numerous interdisciplinary sources to show how horses have unexpectedly influenced such distinctively modern fields as photography, anthropology, and feminist theory. \u003ci\u003eEquestrian Cultures\u003c\/i\u003e boldly steps forward to redefine our view of the most recent developments in our long history of equine partnership and sets the course for future examinations of this still-strong bond. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristen Guest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022658951X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226589510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2019","brand":"Kristen Guest","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056860590335,"sku":"9780226589510","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc7cf481-b492-4408-837e-c7f16b9b1102.jpg?v=1685043662","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/equestrian-cultures-kristen-guest-9780226589510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
