The Sexual Politics of Meat

By Carol J. Adams

'The connections traced between rampant masculinity, misogyny, carnivorism, and militarism operate as powerfully today as when Carol Adams first diagnosed them' — J. M. Coetzee

'A bible of the vegan community' — New York Times

First published in 1990, Carol J. Adams’ revolutionary work 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. This iconic book, referenced in rock songs, feminist artwork and even a Law and Order SVU episode, continues to change the lives of its readers today.
