A Conversation with Carol J. Adams, author of The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegan Critical Theory

Join the NYWBA Animal Law and Diversity Equity & Inclusion Committees for a discussion with author Carol J. Adams about her book “The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegan Critical Theory.” The book has engaged, enraged, inspired, and challenged readers with its exploration of the interplay between society’s ingrained cultural misogyny and its obsession with eating animals and masculinity. Celebrating the book’s 25th anniversary, this Bloomsbury Revelations edition includes a new introduction that reflects on how recent events continue to prove, sadly, the relevance of the book.
