Peterson focuses on how canonical male writers employ discourses of animality in ways that problematize representations of masculinity, interracial sex, and violence primarily among people, and along the way illuminates patterns that are unique to US history. Peterson persuades that attributions of animal qualities to characters are not simply trading in racist stereotypes but at times actively inviting deconstruction of the discourse of speciesism. - SUSAN McHUGH
