Description
Is animal labour inherently oppressive, or can work be a source of meaning, solidarity, and social membership for animals?
This challenging question drives this thought-provoking collection which explores the possibilities and complexities of animal labour as a site for interspecies justice.
The book assembles an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars who carefully grapple with the many facets, implications, and entanglements of animal labour, and who, crucially, place animals at the heart of their analyses.
Can animals engage in good work and have humane jobs?
What kinds of labour rights are appropriate for animal workers?
Can animals consent to work? Would recognizing animals as workers improve their legal and political status, or simply reinforce the perception that they are beasts of burden?
Can a focus on labour help to create or deepen bonds between animal advocates and other social justice movements?
While the authors present a range of views on these questions, their contributions make clear that labour must be taken seriously by everyone interested in more just and ethical multispecies futures.
