Zane McNeill is a scholar-activist from West Virginia and was co-manager of the collective, Rights for Animal Rights Activists (RARA). They have published edited collections with Lantern Publishing & Media, PM Press, and Routledge.

Relying on contemporary vegan, feminist, and critical race theories, Building Power through Multispecies Resistance Against Exploitation examines the multispecies consequences that result from capitalist control over living (and dying). Emerging scholars specializing in social science, philosophy, and law consider how work and labor politics impact humans and other animals in co-occupied “work” spaces such as slaughterhouses, but also anthropocentric grassroots and professionalized workspaces that engage in rescue work and collective action. Constructions of race, class, gender, and species have historically been manufactured for the reproduction of oppression, but they can also be engaged for strategic resistance. Readers will be encouraged to question the utility of single-issue campaigning, the possibility of “ethical” consumption, and how to build bridges to adjacent human rights movements. With critical and theoretically informed analyses of everyday quandaries in anti-speciesist efforts, this is a book meant to be used and applied for multispecies emancipation and greater quality of life for all.
