With subtle genius and profound empathy Kavesh invites us into a world of tremendous passion, intimate affection and the harsh contrasts that animate the human/non-human animal interface in rural Pakistan. In a world that comes alive in the passion of shauk we gain deep appreciation for how and why pigeons, dogs and other animals are implicated in a poetics of passion that challenges the conceit of exclusive humanism and anthropocentric conceptions of sociality.' ~Joseph Alter, University of Pittsburgh, United States of America Author InformationMuhammad A.
