- Colonialism, Culture, Whales is the first full-length study of cetaceans (dolphins and whales) derived from an environmental humanities perspective. As such, it combines research in several different disciplinary fields, including literary/cultural studies, critical animal studies, environmental history, and tourism anthropology. Its four essays, each publishable in its own right, are products of years of extensive research, and gather thoughts and reflections that cover a wide historical and geographical range. Seen as a whole, the book offers new insights into the tragic relationship between whales, colonialism, and industrial modernity, tracing continuities between the whale-watching present and the whale-hunting past.
