## About this book

Love in a Time of Slaughters, Volume 1, provides a rigorous examination of contemporary creative narratives addressing genocide and extinction. Susan McHugh analyzes how these stories blur species lines to advocate for the preservation of biological and cultural diversity. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the text explores indigenous novels, Japanese anime, art installations, and truth commission reports. This literary criticism investigates how traditional knowledge interacts with modern perspectives on human-animal relations during a period of significant man-made threats to species survival.

The study highlights the vulnerabilities of affective bonds and the shared losses occurring when interspecific relationships are destroyed. By focusing on the intersections of animal politics, genocide, and indigeneity, Love in a Time of Slaughters, Volume 1, offers a strategy of resistance against dehumanization and biodiversity loss. This work serves as a scholarly resource for those studying animal rights, political science, and the performing arts within the context of modern global crises.
