What is meat? Is it simply food to consume, or a metaphor for our
own bodies? Can "bloody" vegan burgers, petri dish beef, live
animals, or human milk be categorized as meat? In pursuing these
questions, the contributors to Meat! trace the shifting boundaries
of the meanings of meat across time, geography, and cultures. In
studies of chicken, fish, milk, barbecue, fake meat, animal
sacrifice, cannibalism, exotic meat, frozen meat, and other
manifestations of meat, they highlight meat's entanglements with
race, gender, sexuality, and disability. From the imperial politics
embedded in labeling canned white tuna as "the chicken of the sea"
to the relationship between beef bans, yoga, and bodily purity in
Hindu nationalist politics, the contributors demonstrate how meat
is an ideal vantage point from which to better understand
transnational circuits of power and ideology as well as the
histories of colonialism, ableism, and sexism. Contributors. Neel
