About Birdsplaining
Roaming across nineteenth-century Palestine and twenty-first century California, Scotland, and Wales, Jasmine Donahaye grapples with difficult questions about our relationship to other species, to one another, and to the past. Birds, and how we look at them, are at the centre of her exploration of the ways that women’s experience is shaped and how we come to terms with our own legacies of fear, uncertainty and the risk of getting things wrong. Challenging, self-questioning, humorous and resolutely ethical, the interlinked essays in Birdsplaining upend familiar ways of seeing the natural world.
Birdsplaining was short-listed for the 2024 Wales Book of the Year.
