- Summary
- "How does milk become cow milk, donkey milk or human milk? When one closely explores this question, the species differences between milks is not as stable as one might initially assume, even if one takes an embodied perspective.

It argues that humans actually invest considerable work into abstracting and negotiating milks into their human and animal forms"--
