Hang The Dogs The True Tragic History of the Balangiga Massacre ------------------------------- Introduction Every point in time is preceded by a skein of threads - threads of incidence - that fan out to the past yet define the incident of the moment. Another skein of possibilities fans out to the future from each point in time. We cannot change the threads that come from the past, but we can choose which threads pull us into the future. This book is about the threads and connections of the past that met at a moment of time on the morning of September 28, 1901, and which stretched forward from it. Some call it the Balangiga 'Massacre', others the 'Balangiga Encounter'. The American generals who first heard about it called it the 'Balangiga Affair'. In this book it's referred to as the 'Balangiga Incident'. Like the warp and weft of a cloth, the threads toward Balangiga weave back and forth across the loom of history in a far more complex pattern than simplistic analyses suggest. It was not an attack by ignorant, violent savages in the thrall of a charismatic leader, Trilbys to the Svengali of General Vicente Lukban. It was not an act of the patriotic masses rising in their newfound sense of nationhood against an oppressive foreign invader. Nor can it be understood in terms only of the 1896-1902 Philippine War of Independence and the Pulahanes Period that followed. (More inside)

Shakespeare wrote of lions, shrews, horned toads, curs, mastiffs, and hellhounds. But the word “animal” itself only appears very rarely in his work, which was in keeping with sixteenth-century usage. As Laurie Shannon reveals in The Accommodated Animal, the modern human / animal divide first came strongly into play in the seventeenth century, with Descartes’s famous formulation that reason sets humans above other species: “I think, therefore I am.” Before that moment, animals could claim a firmer place alongside humans in a larger vision of belonging, or what she terms cosmopolity. With Shakespeare as her touchstone, Shannon explores the creaturely dispensation that existed until Descartes. She finds that early modern writers used classical natural history and readings of Genesis to credit animals with various kinds of stakeholdership, prerogative, and entitlement, employing the language of politics in a constitutional vision of cosmic membership. Using this political idiom to frame cross-species relations, Shannon argues, carried with it the notion that animals possess their own investments in the world, a point distinct from the question of whether animals have reason. It also enabled a sharp critique of the tyranny of humankind. By answering “the question of the animal” historically, The Accommodated Animal makes a brilliant contribution to cross-disciplinary debates engaging animal studies, political theory, intellectual history, and literary studies.
