“In the last ten years the ecoability movement has become a diverse and radical force for social justice, this book is necessary reading for scholars and activists who want to understand an ecoability framework which explores the intersections between disability, animal, environmental rights and liberation. The collection is a rallying cry against injustice, oppression and domination and for solidarity, mutual aid and total liberation.”—Will Boisseau, Director of Personnel, Institute of Critical Animal Studies
