Perilous Beasts: Mexican Necropolitics, Animal Deaths, and Blood Sports, 1870-1920

A deep dive into the history of bullfighting, hunting, and animal control in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Mexico.

In Perilous Beasts Stephen B. Neufeld explains how and why Mexicans accepted animal death as a part of daily human life. Whether with casual indifference or with roaring cheers, the death of animals became a feature of the emerging liberal and capitalist society.
