Deborah Bird Rose, Professor in the Centre for Research on Social Inclusion at Macquarie University, Sydney, is the author of Reports from a Wild Country: Ethics for Decolonisation and Dingo Makes Us Human: Life and Land in an Australian Aboriginal Culture.
Wild Dog Dreaming is a remarkable book, animated by a searching
intelligence and a deeply ethical spirit. In a time of extinction
Deborah Bird Rose teaches us what is inextinguishable: our kinship
with animals.--David L. Clark, McMaster University
[A] bold account of the entangled ethics of love, contingency, and
desire.-- "Australian Animal Studies Bulletin"
As seemingly hopeless as the task of halting anthropogenic
extinctions is, [Rose] says she believes that it is 'one toward
which we owe an ethical response.'-- "Chronicle of Higher
Education"
Attuned to the complex harmonics in the howling of wild dingoes,
Rose asks what it means to live and die in a time of escalating
human-provoked mass extinctions. In her own practice, Rose shows us
how to keep the stories rolling and rolling, winding around each
other and us in the task of singing back the life and lives of the
good earth. A wise and generative book."--Donna Haraway, University
of California, Santa Cruz, author of When Species Meet
Rose, an anthropologist, uses the dingo as a touchstone to explore
ethical connectivity between human and nonhuman life.... A
well-referenced, wide-ranging, and sometimes abstract dialogue
between dreamtime stories and Western existentialist philosophy on
life, death, kinships, and dualism with nonhuman life.-- "CHOICE"
