About
John W. Kluge Center and Jay I. Kislak chair Marcy Norton explores the historical roots of a contemporary paradox: Why do some animals become food and other animals become pets? In her new book “The Tame and the Wild,” Norton shows that after 1492, Indigenous and European ways of relating to animals transformed societies on both sides of the Atlantic. In this event, she will discuss how Europeans’ treatment of livestock connected to their fears about demonic witches, and how Indigenous animal-taming practices bewildered and bewitched the colonizers.
