      abstract = {Animal Fiction in Late Twentieth-Century Canada fulfils a  vital contribution to the conversation surrounding animal  representation as a point of continuity in national  narratives and supports the idea that focusing on  narratives of responsibility and care influences better  relations with both non-human animals and across  settler-Indigenous boundaries. Alice Higgs engages with  on-going debates regarding reconciliation by demonstrating  that it is imperative to critique settler colonial  environmental frameworks and place autonomy back into  Indigenous communities by bringing Indigenous practices of  custodianship and relationality to bear more generally.  This book also develops a number of conversations in animal  studies in relation to the politics of representation.  Higgs studies a range of canonical Canadian authors,  demonstrating a progress across the period in which it is  possible to identify the emergence of a literary pro-animal  turn. Alice Higgs is a Visiting Lecturer at the University  of Roehampton. She has held Honorary Researcher status at  the University of Kent, host to The Centre for Indigenous  and Settler Colonial Studies, and she has been a long-term  member of the Animal Studies Research Centre at the  University of Sheffield. Her research looks at the  representation of human-animal relationships in  contemporary North American literature.},
