Mao’s Bestiary: Medicinal Animals and Modern China
AU$40.00 Read MoreAdd to cartLiz P. Y. Chee
Durham and London: Duke University Press, 2021.“A history of the rising use of “medicinal animals” in modern China. While animal parts and tissue had been present in Chinese medicine from an early date, the book argues that their role in the Chinese pharmacopiea greatly expanded and became systematized in the changed political and economic circumstances of the early Communist period. Mao’s Bestiary is the first book to place medicinal animals squarely within the historiography of Chinese medicine. In an age of controversy over the ethics and efficacy of faunal medicalization, its perpensity to foster zoonotic diseases and its devastating effect on wildlife conservation in China and worldwide, the book contributes a much-needed historical perspective, explaining the modern origins of what is too casually taken to be traditional practice” (publisher’s blurb)

A series of photographs and a fashion collection based on the girlsÂ’ appearance and their ability to turn whatever they find into the most exuberant outfits was created. This has already resulted in a fashion show at Amsterdam Fashion Week (a show in Cape Town in still on the wish list) and a photo exhibition in Foam Amsterdam.” (publisher’s blurb)
