Produktbeschreibung

This collection posits three questions. 1) What structures of violence and oppression are experienced and shared by human and nonhuman laborers working and dying in these necropolitical facilities? 2) If there is an intersection between class and species, which, in turn incorporates race, gender, abilities, and other categories of oppression, in which ways is the contemporary Animal Activist Nonprofit Sector (AANS) reifying or disrupting these hierarchies in its mission towards animal liberation? 3) If there are classist and racist biases in AANS, how can the AANS incorporate social class in dialogue with the liberation of nonhuman animals in order to build strategic alliances and coalitions between social movements and political subjects? This book not only envisions a world without these hierarchies but offer tangible steps the AANS can take to achieve liberation for human and nonhuman animals.

Rezensionen

Amidst a national renaissance of labor activism and rising class consciousness, this timely and necessary collection of essays calls the entire animal advocacy movement into the broader conversation about the disastrous effects of racialized capitalism. Incisive contributions from a diverse array of scholar-activists spotlight the dire need for animal advocacy organizations to recognize and respond to the inextricably linked hierarchies of oppression - including class, species, race, gender, and ability, among others - that form the foundations of capitalist exploitation. A vital intervention in the self-defeating politics and strategies of contemporary animal activism! Elan Abrell Instructor in Anthropology and Animal Studies, New York University
