Overview

Animals, Disability, and the End of Capitalism is a collection of essays from the leaders in the field of eco-ability. The book is rooted in critical pedagogy, inclusive education, and environmental education. The efforts of diverse disability activists work to weave together the complex diversity and vastly overlooked interconnections among nature, ability, and animals. Eco-ability challenges social constructions, binaries, domination, and normalcy. Contributors challenge the concepts of disability, animal, and nature in relation to human and man. Eco-ability stresses the interdependent relationship among everything and how the effect of one action such as the extinction of a species in Africa can affect the ecosystem in Northern California. Animals, Disability, and the End of Capitalism is timely and offers important critical insight from within the growing movement and the current academic climate for such scholarship. The book also provides insights and examples of radical experiences, pedagogical projects, and perspectives shaped by critical animal studies, critical environmental studies, and critical disability studies. Contributors include Sarah R. Adams, Marissa Anderson, Judy K. C. Bentley, Mary Fantaske, Amber E. George, Ava HaberkornHalm, John Lupinacci, Hannah Monroe, Anthony J. Nocella II, Nicole R. Pallotta, Meneka Repka, and Daniel Salomon.

Reviews

Having spent many years campaigning with my wife, Louise, who is a wheelchair user, for both animal liberation and the rights of people with disabilities, I am delighted to see this book. Ronnie Lee, founder of the Animal Liberation Front This important contribution to political resistance in the era of Trump calls for nothing short of total liberation. As the Earth shrieks in its descent into oblivion, and the vast majority of its inhabitants prepare themselves for the slaughter bench of history, the activists in this volume chart a different course, one that needs our attention now, more than at any previous time.... It's a book that demands to be read. Peter McLaren, author of Pedagogy of Insurrection The eco-ability movement and this book in particular give both practical (and theo-retical) insight in that total liberation is much more than mere intersectionality: Able-ism (towards humans) and speciesism don't intersect at all, but still the exchange between both perspectives, the learning from each other and the co-operation and combination of both struggles and strugglers make a lot of sense and are highly beneficial, if not an absolute necessity to true liberatory success of any of these struggles. Joerg Hartmann, Regional Representative, Institute for Critical Animal Studies, Europe This book adds to the growing literature on eco-ability, adding a number of new voices to the conversation. Drawing on diverse theoretical perspectives and firsthand experience, the authors in this collection make clear the connections between ableism and speciesism. Constance Russell, professor at Lakehead University Highly original in both content and ambition, Animals, Disability, and the End of Capitalism makes a tremendously powerful and timely contribution to the literature. Accessible and inspiring, this book deserves to be read-and re-read-widely. It should certainly be embraced by critical scholars and activists alike, but, in the final analysis, this is a book that speaks to everyone who desires a better world, based on freedom and justice for each and all. Richard J. White, Reader in Human Geography, Sheffield Hallam University, UK Animals, Disability, and the End of Capitalism is a key book to move the earth and animal liberation movements to be more inclusive and complex with their goals and analysis. This rich read offers any social justice activist a holistic understanding of intersectionality. Carolyn Drew, Institute for Critical Animal Studies
