Abstract
Roy Bar Sadeh’s “Meat Together” offers a compelling vision of intercommunal sociability in nineteenth-century India based on a reading of Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan’s writing on the legal rules governing the slaughter of animals for meat. Bar Sadeh’s analysis also gives us pause, however, to consider the emergence of life, both human and non-human, as a problem of colonial governance. Taken together, biopolitical government and the question of sociability, the article allows to interrogate the limits of hospitality as it extends to and beyond the human.
