ConclusionReviewsAnimals as property or animals as persons? This dichotomy has consumed scholars debating the legal status of animals. Esteemed feminist and post-colonial scholar, Maneesha Deckha breaks through this dichotomy with her argument that animals should occupy the novel legal category of 'beingness.' Her conclusions land in surprising places and must be confronted by anyone seriously concerned with the legal status of animals. - Dale Jamieson, Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy, and Director of the Center for Environmental and Animal Protection, New York University Finally! - a comprehensive analysis of animal law that does not rest upon anthropocentric liberal assumptions, but instead advocates for 'beingness' as a new legal subjectivity for animals. A must-read for anyone who cares about more-than-humans. - Irus Braverman, Professor and William J. Magavern Faculty Scholar, The State University of New York at Buffalo Author InformationManeesha Deckha is a professor and Lansdowne Chair in Law at the University of Victoria.
