Routledge Disability and Animality: Crip Perspectives Critical Animal Studies

Disability and Animality: Crip Perspectives in Critical Animal Studies examines the profound intersections between the oppression of disabled humans and non-human animals through a crip lens. This Routledge publication brings together thirteen chapters from an international team of specialists, offering critical frameworks that challenge both ableism and speciesism simultaneously. Organised around four central themes-intersections of ableism and speciesism, thinking animality and disability together in political and moral theory, and neurodiversity-the book demonstrates how disability studies and critical animal studies scholarship can inform and strengthen one another. With a foreword by Lori Gruen, this work provides essential reading for scholars, activists, and students exploring how systems of oppression affect both disabled people and non-human animals, whilst offering new perspectives on justice, embodiment, and liberation across human and more-than-human communities.
