Description: This book explores human animal relations and species - based domination at the intersection of feminism with critique of our domination and exploitation of nonhuman animals in conversation with power dynamics around coloniality and race class sexuality and embodiment. The collection demonstrates the continued vital importance of feminism conceptually and theoretically methodologically and politically to the development of animal studies.
