This accessible and cutting-edge work offers a new look at the
history of western "civilization," one that brings into focus the
interrelated suffering of oppressed humans and other animals.
Nibert argues persuasively that throughout history the exploitation
of other animals has gone hand in hand with the oppression of
women, people of color, and other oppressed groups. He maintains
that the oppression both of humans and of other species of animals
is inextricably tangled within the structure of social
arrangements. Nibert asserts that human use and mistreatment of
other animals are not natural and do little to further the human
condition. Nibert's analysis emphasizes the economic and
elite-driven character of prejudice, discrimination, and
institutionalized repression of humans and other animals. His
examination of the economic entanglements of the oppression of
human and other animals is supplemented with an analysis of
ideological forces and the use of state power in this sociological
expose of the grotesque uses of the oppressed, past and present.
Nibert suggests that the liberation of devalued groups of humans is
unlikely in a world that uses other animals as fodder for the
continual growth and expansion of transnational corporations and,
conversely, that animal liberation cannot take place when humans
continue to be exploited and oppressed.
