An essential read for activists, community organizers, justice
scholars, and academic administrators, Critical Animal Studies and
Social Justice: Critical Theory, Dismantling Speciesism, and Total
Liberation is a collection that combines scholarship and activism
in nine ground-breaking and provocative chapters. The book includes
contributions from around the world influenced by critical theory,
feminism, social justice, political theory, media studies,
environmental justice, food justice, disability studies, and Black
liberation. By promoting total liberation and liberatory politics,
these essays challenge the reader to think about new approaches to
justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion . The contributors also
examine and disrupt many of the exclusionary assumptions and
behaviors by those working toward justice and liberation,
encouraging the reader to reflect on their own thoughts and
actions. They emphasize the direct links between exploitation of
animals, the planet, and people, the significance of which we can
no longer afford to ignore.
Gender and Sexuality in Critical Animal Studies explores nonhuman
animals' experiences of gender, physiological sex, and sexuality
while in nature and captivity. The contributors in this collection
analyze nonhuman oppression issues, such as reproductive freedom,
deconstructing dichotomous thinking, and promoting animal
liberation within and beyond the academy. The scholar-activists
featured in this collection investigate injustice in news stories,
literature, and other media that shape human perceptions and
treatment toward nonhumans. Each chapter confronts notions of
gender, physiological sex, or sexuality as construction by applying
literary theory, cultural studies, disability studies, queer
studies, ecocriticism, and more to promote justice and equity for
nonhuman animals.
As the inevitable, unsustainable nature of contemporary society
becomes increasingly more obvious, it is important for scholars and
activists to engage with the question, "what is to be done?" A
Historical Scholarly Collection of Writings on the Earth Liberation
Front provides an analysis and overview of an under-discussed but
important part of the radical environmental movement, the Earth
Liberation Front (ELF), which actively tried to stop ecocide.
Through engagement with the activism and thought behind the ELF,
volume contributors encourage readers to begin questioning the
nature of contemporary capitalism, the state, and militarism. This
book also explores the social movement and tactical impact of the
ELF as well as governmental response to its activism, in order to
strengthen analytic understanding of effectiveness, resistance, and
community resilience. A Historical Scholarly Collection of Writings
on the Earth Liberation Front is sure to inspire more scholarly
work around social change, eco-terrorism, environmental studies,
and environmental justice. This book is a valuable text for
criminologists, sociologists, environmental advocates, politicians,
political scientists, activists, community organizers, and
religious leaders.
Intersectionality of Critical Animal Studies: A Historical
Collection represents the very best that the internationally
scholarly Journal for Critical Animal Studies (JCAS) has published
in terms of articles that are written by public critical
scholar-activists-organizers for public critical
scholar-activists-organizers. This move toward publishing pieces
about engaging social change, rather than high-theoretical detached
analysis of nonhuman animals in society, is to regain focus for
liberation at all costs. The essays in this collection focus on
intersectionality scholarship within the realm of Critical Animal
Studies, and discuss issues related to race, gender, disability,
class, and queerness. Not only are these articles historically
significant within the field of Critical Animal Studies, but they
are integral to the overall social justice movement.
Intersectionality of Critical Animal Studies: A Historical
Collection should be read by anyone interested in the Critical
Animal Studies field, as we consider them to be classic writings
that should be respected as foundational texts. There are many
interesting and innovative texts, but these are historical, not
only because they were published in JCAS, but because they were
among the first to publish on a particular intersectional issue.
Education for Total Liberation is a collection of essays from
leaders in the field of critical animal pedagogy (CAP). CAP emerges
from activist educators teaching critical animal studies and is
rooted in critical theory as well as the animal advocacy movement.
Critical animal studies (CAS) argues for an interdisciplinary
approach to understanding our relationships with nonhuman animals.
CAS challenges two specific fields of theory: (1) animal studies,
rooted in vivisection and testing on animals in the hard sciences
and (2) human-animal studies, which reinforces a socially
constructed binary between humans and animals and adopts abstract
theoretical approaches. In contrast, CAS takes a progressive and
committed approach to scholarship and sees the exploitation of
nonhuman animals as interrelated with oppression of humans based on
class, gender, race, ability, sexuality, age, and citizenship. CAS
promotes the liberation of all animals and challenges all systems
of domination. Education for Total Liberation is appropriate for
undergraduate and graduate level readers (and beyond) who wish to
learn from examples of radical pedagogical projects shaped by CAS
and critical pedagogy. Contributing to this collection are Anne C.
Bell, Anita de Melo, Carolyn Drew, Amber E. George, Karin
Gunnarsson Dinker, Sinem Ketenci, John Lupinacci, Anthony J.
Nocella II, Sean Parson, Helena Pedersen, Ian Purdy, Constance L.
Russell, J.L. Schatz, Meneka Repka, William E. Shanahan III, and

The Intersectionality of Critical Animal, Disability, and
Environmental Studies: Toward Eco-ability, Justice, and Liberation
is an interdisciplinary collection of theoretical writings on the
intersectional liberation of nonhuman animals, the environment, and
those with disabilities. As animal consumption raises health
concerns and global warming causes massive environmental
destruction, this book interweaves these issues and more. This
important cutting-edge book lends to the rapidly growing movement
of eco-ability, a scholarly field and activist movement influenced
by environmental studies, disability studies, and critical animal
studies, similar to other intersectional fields and movements such
as eco-feminism, environmental justice, food justice, and
decolonization. Contributors to this book are in the fields of
education, philosophy, sociology, criminology, rhetoric, theology,
anthropology, and English. If you are interested in social justice,
inclusion, environmental protection, disability rights, and animal
advocacy this is a must read book.
Screening the Nonhuman draws connections between how animals
represented on screen translate into reality. In doing so, the book
demonstrates that consuming media is not a neutral act but rather a
political one. The images humans consume have real world
consequences for how animals are treated as actors, as pets, and in
nature. The contributors propose that altering the representations
of animals can change the way humans relate to non/humans. Our hope
is for humans to generate more ethical relationships with
non/humans, ultimately mediating reality both in terms of fiction
and non-fiction. To achieve this end, film, television,
advertisements, and social media are analyzed through an
intersectional lens. But the book doesn't stop here. Each author
creates counter-representational strategies that promise to unweave
the assumptions that have led to the mistreatment of humans and
non/humans alike.
Animals, Disability, and the End of Capitalism is a collection of
essays from the leaders in the field of eco-ability. The book is
rooted in critical pedagogy, inclusive education, and environmental
education. The efforts of diverse disability activists work to
weave together the complex diversity and vastly overlooked
interconnections among nature, ability, and animals. Eco-ability
challenges social constructions, binaries, domination, and
normalcy. Contributors challenge the concepts of disability,
animal, and nature in relation to human and man. Eco-ability
stresses the interdependent relationship among everything and how
the effect of one action such as the extinction of a species in
Africa can affect the ecosystem in Northern California. Animals,
Disability, and the End of Capitalism is timely and offers
important critical insight from within the growing movement and the
current academic climate for such scholarship. The book also
provides insights and examples of radical experiences, pedagogical
projects, and perspectives shaped by critical animal studies,
critical environmental studies, and critical disability studies.
Contributors include Sarah R. Adams, Marissa Anderson, Judy K. C.
Bentley, Mary Fantaske, Amber E. George, Ava HaberkornHalm, John
Lupinacci, Hannah Monroe, Anthony J. Nocella II, Nicole R.
Pallotta, Meneka Repka, and Daniel Salomon.

As a mainstay of modern life, the media industry disseminates
information about disability on a global scale. However, media
outlets do not always contribute accurate and positive depictions
of disability in print and on the screen. Since previous
representations of disability have been incomplete, misguided, and
unimaginative, our text encourages scholars and allies to refashion
media so that it disrupts the status-quo and lends itself toward a
more liberatory politics. Images from the media such as film,
television, and social media are assessed using critical
disabilities studies, media studies, cultural studies, and other
interdisciplinary fields. Many of our authors suggest that media
itself is a powerful force that can counter the stigma and
misrepresentation that oppresses people with disabilities and
perpetuates discrimination. Contributors explore new perspectives
on disability including analyses of people with disabilities as
producers, consumers, and product of media. Moreover, disability is
expanded on through disability identity, culture, and intersections
with other disciplines such as critical race theory, gender
studies, and the other such viewpoints.
