The Sexual Politics of Meat

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

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

'Important and provocative ... Likely to inspire and enrage readers across the political spectrum' — Library Journal

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.

This edition, originally published by Bloomsbury, includes a new introduction that reflects on how recent events continue to prove the relevance of this influential work.
