| Description | This article treats colonization as an interspecies issue and explores the intersection of animal colonialism and gender violence in North America and their representation in recent writings by two prominent writers from Canada and Mexico, namely, in Eden Robinson’s The Trickster Trilogy and Guadalupe Nettle’s Natural Histories. It employs the so-called decolonial animal ethic proposed by the scholar and writer Billy-Ray Belcourt (Driftpile Cree) as both a theoretical and a practical framework through which non-human animals are seen as “colonial subjects” and partners in decolonization alongside Indigenous peoples. |
