Summary of The Sexual Politics of Meat (20th Anniversary Edition)

The Sexual Politics of Meat (20th Anniversary Edition) by Carol J. Adams is a groundbreaking work that examines the relationship between feminism and vegetarianism. Adams argues that meat-eating has been socially and culturally constructed to reinforce the oppression of women. She explores the ways in which the consumption of animals is rooted in gender-based oppression, and how vegetarianism can be a powerful tool for social change. This new edition of Adams' seminal work examines the connections between gender, race, class, and species through an array of topics, including the history of vegetarianism, ecological concerns, and the politics of food production. It also includes updates on the animal rights movement and Adams' reflections on the past two decades of vegan activism. The Sexual Politics of Meat (20th Anniversary Edition) is an essential resource for anyone interested in the intersection of feminism and vegetarianism.
