From radioactive boar invading towns to jellyfish disarming battleships, this book threads together news accounts and more in a powerful and timely work of creative, speculative nonfiction that imagines a revolution stirring and asks how humans can be a part of it. If the coronavirus pandemic has taught us anything, it is that we should pay attention to how we bump up against animal worlds and how animals will push back. \u003ci\u003eAnimal Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e is a passionate, provocative, cogent call for us to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRon Broglio reveals how fur and claw and feather and fin are jamming the gears of our social machine. We can try to frame such disruptions as environmental intervention or through the lens of philosophy or biopolitics, but regardless the animals persist beyond our comprehension in reminding us that we too are part of an animal world. Animals see our technologies and machines as invasive beings and, in a nonlinguistic but nonetheless intensive mode of communicating with us, resist our attempts to control them and diminish their habitats. In doing so, they expose the environmental injustices and vulnerabilities in our systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA witty, informative, and captivating work-at the juncture of posthumanism, animal studies, phenomenology, and environmental studies-Broglio reminds us of our inadequacy as humans, not our exceptionalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eManifesto: Animal Revolution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart I\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
