Joanna Bourke

Exploring the legacy of more than two centuries, Joanna Bourke's meticulously researched and illuminating What it Means to be Human examines the ever shifting line drawn between the human and the animal. A bold exploration that draws on different disciplines to overturn received wisdom and traditional assumptions, it builds on Bourke's remarkable books Fear: A Cultural History and An Intimate History of Killing: Face-to-Face Killing in Twentieth Century Warfare, among others.
