Abstract
- "The Lion's Historian: Africa's Animal Past" by Sandra Swart explores the concept of 'animal-sensitive history,' emphasizing the importance of including animals in historical narratives. Swart presents various animal-related case studies to demonstrate the significance of animals in shaping human understanding of the world. The book not only delves into human-animal histories but also serves as a biography of Swart's career, showcasing her extensive research on animals throughout the years. Swart's work challenges readers to consider animals as key players in history and encourages a deeper exploration of human-animal relationships." [Extracted from the article]
