# Spies and Other Pigeons by Muhammad A. Kavesh (Paperback)

"In Spies and Other Pigeons, Muhammed Kavesh provide an intimate portrait of Pakistan's pigeon flyer community and their bird companions to consider the broader issues of hospitality and hostility in the Punjab and surrounding regions. Kavesh draws on scholarship in anthropology, South Asian studies, and animal studies, as well as the Punjabi folktale of Heer Ranjha, to demonstrate how flyers' approach to rearing, keeping, and competing with pigeons can be understood as an act of hospitality, welcoming the Other into one's home. In a region shaped by difference, Kavesh argues the pigeons and their flyers offer an alternate ethic for relating to others"-- Provided by publisher.
