Description
Giraud's navigation of veganism's politics and its move into the mainstream offers invaluable insight into the nuances of veganism's various manifestations.
Giraud's navigation of veganism's politics and its move into the mainstream offers invaluable insight into the nuances of veganism's various manifestations.
To date, this critically important work represents perhaps the most comprehensive and theoretically nuanced survey of the culture and politics of veganism. Of particular merit is Eva Haifa Giraud’s careful attention to questions of political strategy, making this book an invaluable tool for social justice movements navigating the politics of food consumption.
Eva Haifa Giraud offers a wonderfully engaging and thought-provoking exploration of veganism as a powerful ethical and political praxis. She makes a compelling case for understanding and resisting the appropriation of veganism by capitalist consumer logics, and for ongoing scholarship and activism dedicated to reaffirming veganism’s radical underpinnings.
A stunningly elegant mediation that explores the interlacing between different forms of veganism, for a genuine dissolution of structural inequalities subjugating animals and humans. Eva Haifa Giraud distils veganism to its barest essence—that food is central in bringing veganism’s fullest potential to fruition—reversing the harms solidified by our current relations to animal and human others.
One of the most comprehensive evaluations of vegan identity, politics, and culture to date … Veganism: Politics, Practice, and Theory should be mandatory reading for students in food studies and vegan studies courses as it offers an introductory and comprehensive overview of what veganism is and how it is defined, what contemporary conversations and controversies are occurring in the field, and what veganism can offer to other economic, political, and cultural social justice movements. Beyond academia, this book would be a beneficial read for staff at animal welfare organizations who work in the fields of public policy, regulatory affairs, and government relations.
Eva Haifa Giraud is a Senior Lecturer in Media at Keele University, UK. She is the author of What Comes After Entanglement? (2019).
