The Intersectionality of Critical Animal, Disability, and Environmental Studies:Toward Eco-ability, Justice, and Liberation is an interdisciplinary collection of theoretical writings on the intersectional liberation of nonhuman animals, the environment, and those with disabilities. As animal consumption raises health concerns and global warming causes massive environmental destruction, this book interweaves these issues and more. This important cutting-edge book lends to the rapidly growing movement of eco-ability, a scholarly field and activist movement influenced by environmental studies, disability studies, and critical animal studies, similar to other intersectional fields and movements such as eco-feminism, environmental justice, food justice, and decolonization. Contributors to this book are in the fields of education, philosophy, sociology, criminology, rhetoric, theology, anthropology, and English. If you are interested in social justice, inclusion, environmental protection, disability rights, and animal advocacy this is a must read book.

Altogether, Intersectionality provides a much needed voice that links humans, nonhuman animals, and the environment. At a time when the U.S. political establishment is threatening the healthcare of its sick, aged and disabled, as well as environmental and animal protections for the sake of personal profits, this book is exceptionally timely and important.

What a fascinating opportunity for making reciprocal connections between authentic inclusion in Nature and its parallels in human society. In this one book we are poignantly offered ideas about how we can change our socially constructed illusions about normalcy as relate to “ability-diversity” in both sociological and ecological relationships for the sake of a healthier world for all.
Wahinkepe Topa (Four Arrows), author of "Teaching Truly: A Curriculum to Indigenize Mainstream Education"
This collection pushes the boundaries of critical scholarship. It challenged me to think differently about my own work and my everyday life in ways that not many other collections have. Anyone working in justice studies should read this text.

In a world that grows more divided we attempt to ‘fence off’ or exclude those who we consider different. In the world of the animal, both human and non-human, indeed the earth itself, this act of exclusion wreaks havoc on the interconnectedness or interdependency of all concerned. However the reader will find The Intersectionality of Critical Animal, Disability, and Environmental Studies:Toward Eco-ability, Justice, and Liberation challenges this development by investigating these divisions and their social constructed-ness, throwing light upon their roots and giving thought to the urgent and necessary responses.

The Intersectionality of Critical Animal, Disability, and Environmental Studies is a cutting-edge and thorough collection of essays that advances the movement and field of eco-ability. This book is excellent for intersectional social justice scholars looking for new ways of examining oppression.
Erik Juergensmeyer, Editor, "Green Theory and Praxis Journal"
The Intersectionality of Critical Animal, Disability, and Environmental Studies:Toward Eco-ability, Justice, and Liberation is a wonderful theoretical examination of how we can work to liberate more oppressed groups, while being working for total liberation. This book is a must read for scholar dedicated to social justice and peace.
