"Rando is not only a visionary author who is producing revolutionary knowledge; he is teaching curiosity and bravery, as well as how to deconstruct ourselves before moving to deconstruct the world beyond humanity." -- Journal of the Midwest Modern Language Association "A great leap forward in the literary-theoretical approach to animal studies. Recommended for students of theory and fantastika. Heartily recommended." -- Anthony Lioi, Professor of Liberal Arts and English, The Julliard School, USA " Doing Animal Studies with Androids, Aliens, and Ghosts provides a brilliantly subtle and compelling discussion of how thinking about entities that aren't animals can change our conceptions of animals by reconfiguring understandings of the human." --John Miller, Senior Lecturer in Nineteenth-Century Literature, University of Sheffield, UK "Rando contributes greatly to the fields of Animal Studies . [this] is a key text for any scholar to venture beyond the fringes of Animal Studies to explore its many possibilities." -- Ecozon@.
