  1. Animal Intimacies: Interspecies Relatedness in India's Central Himalayas (Animal Lives) &#8220Adelightful read [and] an important addition to human- animal relations studies.&#8221&#8212Anhropology MattersWhat does it mean to live and die in relation to other animals? Animal Intimacies posits this central question alongside the intimate&#8212an intense&#8212moents of care, kinship, violence, politics, indifference, and desire that occur between human and non-human animals.Built on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in the mountain villages of India&#8217sCentral Himalayas, Radhika Govindrajan&#8217sbook explores the number of ways that human and animal interact to cultivate relationships as interconnected, related beings. Whether it is through the study of the affect and ethics of ritual animal sacrifice, analysis of the right-wing political project of cow-protection, or examination of villagers&#8217talk about bears who abduct women and have sex with them, Govindrajan illustrates that multispecies relatedness relies on both difference and ineffable affinity between animals. Animal Intimacies breaks substantial new ground in animal studies, and Govindrajan&#8217sdetailed portrait of the social, political and religious life of the region will be of interest to cultural anthropologists and scholars of South Asia as well.&#8220Imerses us in passionate case studies on the multiple relationships between Kumaoni villagers and animals in Uttarakhand.&#8221&#8212Euopean Bulletin of Himalayan Research&#8220Amemorable and innovative ethnography.&#8221&#8212Pirs Locke, University of Canterbury
