Acknowledging nonhuman species as coproducers of culture, this volume offers a deeper understanding of the region's natural environment and humanity's place in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors analyze a wide range of cultural production, including recent science films on monarch butterfly migration, nineteenth-century photographs of Panama, the eighteenth-century diary of a nun in New Granada, 1920s Brazilian landscape paintings, contemporary Zapotec poetry, and twentieth-century vegetarian cookbooks from Uruguay and Mexico. By focusing on plants and animals, these essays uncover the entanglements of nonhuman lives with issues such as race, gender, labor, and coloniality, while highlighting other-than-human ways of living, knowing, and communicating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlants and Animals in Latin American Cultural Production\u003c\/i\u003e promotes a deeper understanding of cultural forms in Latin America and breaks down disciplinary divides--both between critical animal studies and critical plant studies and among fields such as literary studies, film studies, and art history.
