Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This is the first book to define the philosophical and practical parameters of critical animal studies (CAS). With apolitical animal studies and exploitative animal research dominating higher education, this book offers a timely counter-narrative that demands the liberation of all oppressed beings and the environment.
