Scholarly and personal essays on the intersections of the prison-industrial complex, industrial animal agriculture, and capitalism.
Vegan Entanglements: Dismantling Racial and Carceral Capitalisminvites over 15 activists, scholars, and journalists to grapple with some of the most topical issues facing the animal protection movement, specifically its historical dependence on the prison- and immigration- industrial complexes and the carceral logics that inform and normalize the violence of incarceration and deportation. The contributors to this collection not only dissect and interrogate this relationship between the animal welfare movement and carcerality, surveillance, white supremacy, and capitalism, but offer concrete tactics for activists, non-profits, and other stakeholders to create a more equitable animal welfare movement based upon abolition and collective liberation.
“
Vegan Entanglementsis an innovative, powerful, and timely collection. By bringing together an array of diverse authorial voices, this text counters hegemonic legal narratives within animal law and offers substantive alternatives to carceral logic. It is a must-read for scholars and activists interested in social justice, environmental justice, animal rights, and total liberation.”
—S. Marek Muller, Assistant Professor of Rhetorical Studies at Florida Atlantic University, author ofImpersonating Animals: Rhetoric, Ecofeminism, and Animal Rights Law “A direct inquiry into the tenets of critical animal studies, this book provides scholar-activists with alternative means of abolishing oppression for all species. For those seeking an end to the interlocking systems of oppression, the anti-carceral perspectives in this collection offer insights into emptying all cages and keeping them empty for generations to come.”
