Animals and Women is a collection of pioneering essays that explores the theoretical connections between feminism and animal defense. Offering a feminist perspective on the status of animals, this unique volume argues persuasively that both the social construction and oppressions of women are inextricably connected to the ways in which we comprehend and abuse other species. Furthermore, it demonstrates that such a focus does not distract from the struggle for women’s rights, but rather contributes to it.This wide-ranging multidisciplinary anthology presents original material from scholars in a variety of fields, as well as a rare, early article by Virginia Woolf. Exploring the leading edge of the species/gender boundary, it addresses such issues as the relationship between abortion rights and animal rights, the connection between woman-battering and animal abuse, and the speciesist basis for much sexist language. Also considered are the ways in which animals have been regarded by science, literature, and the environmentalist movement. A striking meditation on women and wolves is presented, as is an examination of sexual harassment and the taxonomy of hunters and hunting. Finally, this compelling collection suggests that the subordination and degradation of women is a prototype for other forms of abuse, and that to deny this connection is to participate in the continued mistreatment of animals and women.

The Good It Promises, the Harm It Does is the first edited volume to critically engage with Effective Altruism (EA). It brings together writers from diverse activist and scholarly backgrounds to explore a variety of unique grassroots movements and community organizing efforts. By drawing attention to these responses and to particular cases of human and animal harms, this book represents a powerful call to attend to different voices and projects and to elevate activist traditions that EA lacks the resources to assess and threatens to squelch. The contributors reveal the weakness inherent within the ready-made, top-down solutions that EA offers in response to many global problems-and offers in their place substantial descriptions of more meaningful and just social engagement.

Is there a blocked vegetarian in your life?In this second edition of her bold and original book, Carol J. Adams offers real-life advice that vegetarians and vegans can use to defuse any situation where their food choices come under attack. She suggests viewing meat eaters as blocked, and their responses to vegans and vegetarians as signs of what keeps them from changing. The book provides strategies for conversations, insights into hostile behavior, and tips for dining out and entertaining at home among meat eaters, who Adams points out are perfectly happy eating vegan food as long as they don’t know that is what they are doing.This edition features a new preface, a new chapter addressing living among meat eaters online, many new recipes, and revisions throughout to reflect the changes in society since the book was first published in 2001, making this much-loved guide more relevant than ever. As well as being a source of support and information, Living Among Meat Eaters contains more than 50 of Carol's favorite recipes.

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The burger, long the All-American meal, is undergoing an identity crisis. From its shifting place in popular culture to efforts by investors such as Bill Gates to create the non-animal burger that can feed the world, the burger’s identity has become as malleable as that patty of protein itself, before it is thrown on a grill. Carol Adams’s Burger is a fast-paced and eclectic exploration of the history, business, cultural dynamics, and gender politics of the ordinary hamburger. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Vegans and cyclists are often outsiders, negotiating food systems and built environments that tend to prioritize omnivores and motor vehicles by default. Pedaling Resistance: Sympathy, Subversion, and Vegan Cycling examines the relationship between veganism and cycling through the journeys, experiences, and reflections of a dozen vegan cyclists from the United States and beyond. The essays in this collection explore the unity between cycling for health, work, competition, transport, and joy, and the issues of animal suffering, environmentalism, and speciesism inherent in veganism—all through lenses of class, race, gender, and disability. Pedaling Resistance illuminates themes of everyday resistance and boundary crossing to uncover the greater social and political issues that underlie the decisions to give up animal products and choose cycling over driving.

DJURET Vid mitten av 1990-talet blev djurrättsrörelsen samhällets fiende nummer ett. Mjölkbilar brann, minkar släpptes ut, ungdomar köttvägrade och vuxenvärlden rasade. I mellanmjölkens land blev varje tallrik plötsligt ett ideologiskt slagfält. I dag är läget annorlunda. I skuggan av klimatkrisen är det inte längre veganen utan köttätaren som börjat framstå som boven kring matbordet. Var tionde svensk identifierar sig som vegetarian eller vegan, och den tidigare så fruktade »veganrörelsen« har vuxit upp till en köpstark grupp som allt fler företag vill göra sig till vän med. Men samtidigt som vegetarianismen har normaliserats tycks de radikala djurrättsidéerna ha skjutits i bakgrunden. Matfrågan, som på 1990-talet laddades med en revolutionär vrede mot alla samhällets orättvisor, har blivit till en privat hälsofråga, ett uttryck för den personliga identiteten eller ett sätt bland andra att utöva »grön konsumtion«. Det har blivit acceptabelt att kritisera animaliekonsumtionen ur miljöperspektiv, men det råder ännu en besvärande tystnad kring djurens rättigheter. Frågan behandlas som en pinsam familjehemlighet som vi alla artigt förväntas hålla tyst om: tala om vad som helst, men inte om vårt våld mot djuren. Varför består denna oförmåga att ta djuren på allvar? Är vi verkligen så förtjusta i våra biffar och pälskragar att vi inte kan tänka oss andra sätt att leva? Eller är det snarare så att frågan om hur vi behandlar djur skjuts åt sidan, förminskas och görs till ett icke-problem därför att detta tjänar starka penningintressen? Kan det till och med vara så att vi behöver vår dominans över djuren för att det tillhandahåller ett försvar för fortsatta makthierarkier mellan olika grupper av människor? I Fronesis nr 56–57 tar vi oss an frågan om människa–djur-relationen ur kritiskt djurstudieperspektiv. I en rad nyskrivna och översatta artiklar diskuteras förhållandet mellan djursyn, djurutnyttjande och samhällets maktstrukturer. I tre avdelningar diskuteras djurens ställning under kapitalismen; förhållandet mellan djurutnyttjande, rasism och sexism; samt några utopiska möjligheter för människor att leva tillsammans med – eller helt utan kontakt med – andra djur. Bland texterna märks en intervju med djurrättsteoretikern John Sanbonmatsu om djurutnyttjandet som produktionssätt. I en klassisk text av nyligen bortgångne konstkritikern John Berger diskuteras kapitalismens inflytande på dagens instrumentella djursyn. Vi översätter ett utdrag ur Carol J. Adams omtalade feministiska analys av »köttets könspolitik« samt de politiska teoretikerna Will Kymlickas och Sue Donaldsons försvar för ett medborgarskap för djur. Innehåll i Fronesis nr 56–57 (264 sidor): Per-Anders Svärd: Djur, samhälle och kritisk teori Agnes Gerner: Ur Sus Helena Pedersen: Varufetischism och strukturellt våld Marco Maurizi : Djurens frigörelse och kritisk teori. Intervju med John Sanbonmatsu Rolf Engenell och Lena Lindström: Bättre flöde i dödsfabriken Sarah Franklin: Dollys kropp Tobias Linné och Helena Pedersen: Med omsorg om kor och kärlek till mjölk Per-Anders Svärd: Speciesism och ideologiskt herravälde John Berger: Varför se på djur? Carol J. Adams: Köttets könspolitik Somar Al Naher: Köttnationalismen, rasismen och halalfrågan David Redmalm: Biopolitik och husdjurssorg Anette Kristensson: Karnofallogocentrism Amelie Björck: Efter speciesismen Patricia MacCormack: Djuriskheter Sue Donaldson och Will Kymlicka: Djuren och medborgarskapets frontlinjer Jens Holm, Camilla Björkbom, Lisa Gålmark, Mattias Kristiansson, Erik Jönsson och Martin Smedjeback, intervjuade av Somar Al Naher: Djurhållningens utfasning Redaktörer: Somar Al Naher, Amelie Björck, Helena Pedersen och Per-Anders Svärd.
