Routledge The Rise of Critical Animal Studies - Routledge Advances

This comprehensive collection from Routledge examines the evolving field of critical animal studies as it becomes essential to contemporary scholarship on human-animal relations and environmental crisis. The book brings together latest critical thinking on animal condition and experience across four structured sections: engaging theory, doing critical animal studies, critical animal studies and anti-capitalism, and contesting the human through veganism and activism. Designed for scholars, students, and researchers in sociology, environmental studies, and animal rights, this volume explores inner tensions within the interdisciplinary field whilst providing a platform for progressive perspectives that challenge conventional understandings of animal agency, liberation, and our relationship with non-human life.
