Description
The Global Pigeon by Colin Jerolmack is an ethnographic exploration of our complex relationship with pigeons in public spaces. Through three years of fieldwork across continents, Jerolmack examines how humans interact with these versatile birds, revealing surprising insights into city life, community, culture, and politics. Jerolmack's study takes readers to urban squares like Venice's Piazza San Marco and London's Trafalgar Square, as well as working-class communities where pigeon breeding is a passion. By exploring the social experience of animals, Jerolmack sheds light on how our interactions with pigeons reflect our values, interests, and societal norms. This accessible ethnography offers a fresh perspective on the human-pigeon connection, making it an engaging read for anyone interested in urban studies, sociology, or cultural anthropology.
