- Description
- This book addresses interconnections between speciesism, sexism, racism, and homophobia, clarifying why social justice activists in the twenty-first century must identify and challenge these various intersecting forms of oppression simultaneously. Through personal narratives from women who have personally explored links of oppression between human beings and nonhuman animals, the authors examine exploitative enterprises such as cockfighting, factory farming, vivisection, and the bushmeat trade. The book demonstrates with painful clarity why every activist must be on board with other social justice concerns.
