Description

Rodeo, cattle ranching, and bullfighting converge in the arenas of race, gender, and ethics in Reversible America. In Southwestern California, these sports manifest in spectacular expressions of transcultural interactions that continue to develop through border crossings. Using an interdisciplinary scope, this unique look into the subculture negotiates the paradoxes and connections between the popular American performances, Iberian bullfighting, and Native American hunting methods, along with the relationship between human and non-human beings, and systems of value across borders.

Frédéric Saumade is Professor of Social Anthropology at Aix-Marseille University, France and Member of the Institut d'Ethnologie et d’Anthropologie Sociale (IDEAS), CNRS. Most recently, Saumade published De Walt Disney à la tauromachie. Élégie pour une mythologie animalière (2023, Diable Vauvert). He has also edited. with Patrick Pérez, Tenatsali, ou l’ethnologue qui fut transformé en Indien by Frank Hamilton Cushing (2022, CNRS Editions).
