This book focuses on multiculturalism, racism and the interests of
nonhuman animals. Each are, in their own right, rapidly growing and
controversial fields of enquiry, but how do multiculturalism and
racism intersect with the debate concerning animals and their
interests? This a deceptively simple question but on that is
becoming ever more pressing as we examine our societal practices in
a pluralistic world. Collating the work of a diverse group of
academics from across the world, the book includes writing on a
wide range of subjects and addressing contemporary issues in this
critical arena. Subjects covered include multiculturalism, group
rights and the limits of tolerance; ethnocentrism and animals;
racism and discrimination and non-Western alternatives to animal
rights and welfare. The book will be of interest to researchers,
lecturers and advanced students as well as range of social justice
organisations, government institutions, animal activist
organisations and environmental groups.
