Captive by Jo-Anne Mcarthur

In this follow-up to We Animals, Canadian photojournalist Jo-Anne McArthur explores zoos and aquaria, and how we animals interact with those animals. In over one hundred photographs, Captive reveals the lives of animals in zoos and aquaria around the world. McArthur photographed animals in these situations for over a decade, and the book will include images from over 20 countries on five continents, shot most recently in the last year while she was working with The Born Free Foundation in Europe. The book has contributions from Virginia McKenna, co-founder of the Born Free Foundation, philosopher Lori Gruen, and Ron Kagan, CEO of the Detroit Zoo. We're at an important point in history right now. More than ever, ordinary people are thinking about the ethics of keeping animals in captivity for our entertainment. This reflection will help propel us into a new era of (re)considering our relationship with other animals. Captive aims to be a part of these important discussions.

Jo-Anne McArthur is a photojournalist who has won numerous awards. For almost ten years, she has been chronicling the condition of animals on all seven continents. She is the co-creator of the We Animals project and the co-author of the We Animals book. Jo-Anne is a native of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
