Douglas Kidd introduces the medieval literary form of the bestiary along with a critical consideration of the hierarchical assumptions that underpin it. Douglas suggests that these assumptions continue to influence secular humanism and popular discourse in modern Western society; instead a reimagined Anarchist Bestiary shares stories that challenge those hierarchical assumptions and help us work together for a world in which all species thrive. (The author extends a call for contributions to The Anarchist Bestiary, which can be visited here).
