Book Synopsis
Animal studies and biopolitics are two of the most dynamic areas of interdisciplinary scholarship. Bringing these two emergent areas of thought into direct conversation, this book fosters a new discussion about the status of nonhuman animals and the shared plight of humans and animals under biopolitics.

Trade Review
"Clearly developed and cogently argued, Before the Law puts existing formulations on the defensive while at the same time challenging them to respond to what is in essence a very straightforward but pressing question: Have we really begun to think through what 'animal life' means or to deal with the consequences of such questioning?" (David Wills, University at Albany, SUNY)"
