(Routledge Advances in Critical Diversities) 1st Edition
by Stephanie Jenkins (Editor), Kelly Struthers Montford (Editor), Chloë Taylor (Editor)
The fields of Critical Disability
Studies and Critical Animal Studies are growing rapidly, but how do the
implications of these endeavours intersect? Disability and Animality: Crip Perspectives in Critical Animal Studies explores some of the ways that the oppression of more-than-human animals and disabled humans are interconnected.
Composed
of thirteen chapters by an international team of specialists plus a
Foreword by Lori Gruen, the book is divided into four themes:
- Intersections of Ableism and Speciesism
- Thinking Animality and Disability together in Political and Moral Theory
- Neurodiversity and Critical Animals Studies
- Melancholy, Madness, and Misfits.
This
book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as
well as postdoctoral scholars, interested in Animal Studies, Disability
Studies, Mad Studies, philosophy, and literary analysis. It will also
appeal to those interested in the relationships between speciesism,
ableism, saneism, and racism in animal agriculture, culture, built
environments, and ethics.
