| Abstract
|
:
|
""The connections traced between rampant masculinity, misogyny, carnivorism, and militarism operate as powerfully today as when Carol Adams first diagnosed them twenty years ago." JM Coetzee" "For twenty years, The Sexual Politics of Meat has inspired, engaged, and challenged readers. Now , with a preface by Nellie McKay, an expansive new Introduction by the author, and 8 pages of images culled from popular culture, The Sexual Politics of Meat is as startling, revelatory, thought-provoking, and life-changing as when it first appeared." "A bible of the vegan community." New York Times" ""Her argument is rational and persuasive . New ground -whole acres of it - is broken by Adams." Washington Post" ""Important and provocative . Likely to both inspire and enrage readers across the political spectrum." Library Journal" ""Adams's original, provocative book makes a major contribution to the debate on animal rights." Publishers Weekly" ""The Sexual Politics of Meat couldn't be more timely, or more disturbing." Environmental Ethics."--BOOK JACKET
