Gender and Sexuality in Critical Animal Studies is a timely and extremely needed collection that interrogates the interconnections between systems of oppression, like speciesism, sexism, racism, and ableism. At a time where scholars, activists, and nonprofit leaders are reevaluating the depths of structural sexism, racism, and cisheteropatriarchy within their institutions, this book illustrates the need for liberation struggles to challenge all abuse in non/human communities in order dismantle hierarchical ideologies.
