Animals and Society in Brazil from the Sixteenth to Nineteenth Centuries ANTHROZOÖS BOOK REVIEW Animals and Society in Brazil from the Sixteenth to Nineteenth Centuries, by Ana Lucia Camphora, trans. Miriam Adelman, The White Horse Press, 2021, 194 pp., ISBN: 978-1-912186-17-4 It is good that this book, first published in 2017 before the English-language edition, has appeared at such an important time for Brazil’s natural environment: historical anthrozoology here sets a valuable and timely context in which to consider present-day threats especially to indigenous societies and nonhuman animals through recent political destructiveness. Cam- phora explains that, “My dive into this research was motivated by one basic question: what has been said, within our historical records, with regard to non-human animals?” (p. 5). A wide range of sources is used, including contemporary accounts of travelers, official reports, scientific publications, and private documents, with a note that “Limitations concerning exist- ing bibliographic sources on the customs and social life in the early Brazilian colonial period were the consequence of the country’s [then] precarious educational system, which restricted the production of records and testimonies” (p. 8).
