Recenzje

"Critical Animal Studies and Activism offers readers insight into what will be one of the defining issues of the 21st century: how will we challenge speciesism-globally, locally, individually and collectively? The editors and contributors educate, elucidate, and provoke, offering a road map through the critical questions and conflicts that have shaped the field. But most of all, they offer us the hope that praxis will make total liberation possible." -Dr. Nancy A. Heitzeg, Professor of Sociology and Critical Studies of Race and Ethnicity, St Catherine University
