Let's face it - all birds are fascinating, wonderful, idiotic jerks - no matter where in the world they reside.

Forbundne arters manifest er en hyldest til hundene og til den fælles historie, som mennesker og hunde har. Igennem en udforskning af fællesskabet mellem vores arter bliver det tydeligt, hvordan gensidighed, kærlighed og ansvar er størrelser, der binder os tæt til vores pjuskede ledsagere og makkere. Forbundethed er et gennemgående tema i Donna Haraways forfatterskab, og i denne tekst udfoldes det til fulde gennem analysen af de blomstrende relationer mellemforbundne arter. ”Forbundne arters manifest er et personligt dokument, en videnskabelig ekspedition ind i for mange delvist ukendte territorier, en politisk håbshandling i en verden på kanten af global krig, og et arbejde der i princippet er i bestandig fremgang. Jeg tilbyder hundegennemtyggede rekvisitter og halvt afrettede argumenter for at videreudvikle nogle fortællinger, jeg holder rigtig meget af, som akademiker og som en person i min tid og på mit sted. Denne historie handler hovedsageligt om hunde. Som brændende engageret i disse fortællinger, håber jeg at føre mine læsere ind i kennelen på livstid. (…) Færdighederne og aktørerne i hundeverdenerne, både menneskelige og ikke-menneskelige, burde være et vigtigt anliggende for teknovidenskabelige studier. Det ligger mig endnu mere på sinde, at mine læsere ved, hvorfor jeg betragter det at skrive om hunde som en gren af feministisk teori, eller omvendt.” Forbundne arters manifest er en hjertelig og sjov gentænkning af Haraways tidligere arbejde, der tegner nye retninger i forfatterskabet.
