Recenzje

"In recent years, the importance of social movements has become more of an important part of advancing critical animal studies toward what Socha and Nocella propose as radical animal studies. Radical Animal Studies: Beyond Respectability Politics, Opportunism, and Cooptation offers a timely collection of thoughtful essays that center diversity in activist-scholarship and teach of the importance of radical theory and action through (and with) social movements that include animal liberation together with social justice." -Johnny Lupinacci, Associate Professor, Cultural Studies and Social Thought in Education, Washington State University
