The Carol J. Adams Reader cover

The Carol J. Adams Reader gathers together Adams’s foundational and recent writings as well as relevant interviews and conversations identifying key concepts and new developments in her work.

The Carol J. Adams Reader gathers together Adams’s foundational and recent articles in the fields of critical studies, animal studies, media studies, vegan studies, ecofeminism and feminism, as well as relevant interviews and conversations in which Adams identifies key concepts and new developments in her decades-long work. This volume, a companion to The Sexual Politics of Meat (Bloomsbury Revelations), offers insight into a variety of urgent issues for our contemporary world: Why do batterers harm animals? What is the relationship between genocide and attitudes toward other animals? How do activism and theory feed each other? How do race, gender, and species categories interact in strengthening oppressive attitudes? In clear language, Adams identifies the often hidden aspects of cultural presumptions. The essays and conversations found here capture the decades-long energy and vision that continue to shape new ways of thinking about and responding to oppression.

Read this brilliant feminist vegan theorist whose incisive analysis and steadfast commitment to justice for all of creation compels action. Whether on meat-eating or abortion, care-giving or anti-speciesism, Carol invites the reader to share her worldview. To read her is to be open to life-changing practices, and to appreciate the power of words to transform the world. * WATER (The Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics, and Ritual) *
This is a marvelous and most valuable collection of Dr. Adams' seminal and most important essays. Perfect for many different undergraduate and graduate courses, and perfect for non-academics. * Marc Bekoff, Professor Emeritus, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Colorado, author Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals *
