Leiden & Boston, Brill, 2008. XII,295 pp. B./w. figs. Softcover. 8vo. (Human-Animal Studies, Vol. 5).[ISBN: 978-90-04-15419-3]. - As new.This suite of essays is a first for historical writing about southern Africa: they recover an animal's ubiquitous, yet hidden presence in human history. The authors have used the dog as a way "to think about human society". The dog is the connecting thread binding these essays, which each reveals a different part of the complex social history of southern Africa.
