Critical Theory and Animal Liberation is the first collection to
approach our relationship with other animals from the critical or
"left" tradition in political and social thought. Breaking with
past treatments that have framed the problem as one of "animal
rights," the authors instead depict the exploitation and killing of
other animals as a political question of the first order. The
contributions highlight connections between our everyday treatment
of animals and other forms of social power, mass violence, and
domination, from capitalism and patriarchy to genocide, fascism,
and ecocide. Contributors include well-known writers in the field
as well as scholars in other areas writing on animals for the first
time. Among other things, the authors apply Freud's theory of
repression to our relationship to the animal, debunk the "Locavore"
movement, expose the sexism of the animal defense movement, and
point the way toward a new transformative politics that would
encompass the human and animal alike.
