Description
Queer and Animal Provocations explores encounters between queer liberation and animal subjugation to discover how the struggles for acceptable queer identity are entwined with entrenching animal exploitation. To uncover this connection, Jessica Ison interrogates queer citizenship, animal justice, colonial constructs of the human, sexual violence, animal abuse registries and queer movements for liberation. This book disentangles the exploitation of animals from queer liberation, arguing that scholars and activists should take action through solidarity and mutual support that abolishes cages and systems of injustice.

Reviews

In this original, accessible, and engaging text, Jessica Ison places queer and animal liberation movements and theory side by side, asking critical questions about their entanglements, history, and potential horizons. Examining diverse contemporary topics such as commodification and consumerism, sexuality and the law, and the visibility of mourning, Queer and Animal Provocations offers an incisive exploration of the politics of queer sexuality and oppression amidst the context of mass scale human violence against animals.
