Erika Cudworth is senior lecturer in the School of Applied Social Sciences at De Montfort University. Her interdisciplinary research interests coalesce around complexity and posthumanist approaches, intersectionality and asking feminist questions of our relations with nonhuman animals and the earth. Her previous books include Developing Ecofeminist Theory and Social Lives with Other Animals, and, with Steve Hobden, Posthuman International Relations and The Emancipatory Project of Posthumanism. She has edited many collections, most recently, with Ruth McKie and Di Turgoose, Feminist Animal Studies.

Animal Entanglements adds to and complements two earlier booksby Cudworth: Developing Ecofeminist Theory (2005) and Social Lives with Other Animals (2011). In the volume under reviewCudworth addresses how nonhuman animals, particularly dogs, raise interesting questions about what it means to be human and what the boundaries are of their and our entangled social worlds. Her starting point is the concept of anthroparchy, namely, the dominant social organization that privileges the human and subordinates the nonhuman living world. Cudworth's sociological method is ethnographic. In vivid and messy detail she describes the negotiated complexities of human-canine encounters in the parks and streets of the River Lee (or Lea) and the Walthamstow and Leyton marsh areas of East London and elsewhere, and in multispecies home spaces such as bedrooms and kitchens. There is insight aplenty in this book on how humans should interact justly and responsibly with their animal companions, including the absolute necessity of dog walking and the need for care with what humans should and should not feed "our" dogs. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty.
