Critical Animal Studies : Towards Trans-species Social Justice Hardback

Edited by Atsuko Matsuoka, John Sorenson

Hardback

Description

This important book charts new territory by showcasing some of the newest developments in the rapidly-growing field of Critical Animal Studies.

Critical Animal Studies presents a radical ethical and normative challenge to existing systems of power in the context of neoliberal capitalism and to the existential structure of speciesism.

The essays in this book link activist and academic approaches to dismantle the exploitation and oppression of nonhuman animals.

Featuring an international team of contributors, the book reflects the transdisciplinary character of Critical Animal Studies, with chapters by activists and academics from disciplines across the social sciences, including historical archaeology, political science, psychology, geography, law, social work and philosophy. The book provides advanced-level students with an ideal introduction to a wide range of perspectives on Critical Animal Studies, amongst other things proposing new ways of considering animal advocacy, decolonization and liberation.
