As Bourke poetically puts it. What it Means to Be Human: Reflections from to the Present by Joanna Bourke – review. Joanna Bourke's survey of years of injustice is a thought-provoking if incomplete read. A shackled. Exploring, with Jacques Derrida, the ‘carnivorous sacrifice’ at the centre of Western thought, Bourke argues compellingly that to be human is to kill, to own, to consume, and to dominate the non-human (a category that has historically always included many members of the species homo sapiens). Given the violence that inheres in this definition of the human, the highest stake of this book is the question of what, or who, is a non-human, when and why.
