This book focuses on the increasingly popular phenomenon of
veganism, a way of living that attempts to exclude all animal
products on ethical grounds. Using data from biographical
interviews with vegans, the author untangles the complex topic of
veganism to understand vegan identity from a critical and
biographical perspective. Shaped by the participants' biographical
narratives, the study considers the diverse topics of family,
faith, sexuality, gender, music, culture, embodiment and activism
and how these influence the lives and identities of vegans. It also
highlights the hostility vegans face, and how this hostility
functions in the everyday, and intersects with other aspects of
their identity and biography, exemplified through 'coming out' and
'queer' narratives of veganism. Understanding Veganism will be of
particular interest to those engaged in the fields of biographical
research, critical animal studies or more broadly with an interest
in animal advocacy.
