Sacred Rituals and Humane Death critically analyzes the civilizing nature of the underlying fundamental concept of “humaneness” in contemporary discourses around modern meat and animal ethics. As religious methods of animal slaughter, such as the halal method in Islam, as well as the practice of religious animal sacrifice, are sometimes categorized as barbaric in recent debates, the civilizing narrative of progress leads supposedly to more humane adaptation of methods and practices of animal curation and slaughter. This volume argues that the shift toward modern meat does not constitute a shift toward less pain and suffering as purported by supporters of contemporary methods, particularly mass agriculture. Rather, it is a shift in what is considered as acceptable versus unacceptable pain and suffering. In this work, the author analyzes the concealment and distancing that characterize modern meat production, uncovering the “acceptable” pain and suffering involved in these procedures heralded as ”progress” and advocating for a retrieval of earlier, tradition-bound practices rooted in religious, cultural, and ethical respect of animals and their important and sacred roles in sacrifice.

This book uses Islamic food justice to address multifaceted problems within global food systems. In this book, Magfirah Dahlan queries our ethical responsibilities within the modern food system. Originating within the environmentalist movement, food justice aims to address the inequality of environmental harms faced by marginalized groups of people and seeks to address the structural inequalities and injustices baked into the food system. While food justice has historically focused on temporary solutions, recent activists and scholars attempt to find more radical, holistic solutions. Taylor contends that Islamic teachings and rituals surrounding food and food systems offer a meaningful intervention within conversations surrounding food justice. Across five chapters, Taylor offers potential solutions for Muslim communities who strive to follow Islamic food norms and address food justice, human/animal interspecies justice, and environmental sustainability. By embracing Islamic vegetarianism/veganism, purchasing organic wares, or starting community gardens, this book argues that an Islamic conception of food justice can radically shift the current discourse on food ethics from a consumerist to a communal approach. Taylor calls for Muslims to reinterpret centuries-old, religious food laws within the context of the modern food system and consider how religious rituals can be a path forward, rather than a hindrance to, achieving food justice.
