The Sexual Politics of Meat?

"A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements--vegetarianism and feminism--and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive....New ground-whole acres of it-is broken by Adams."

--Washington Post Book World

"An important and provocative work...the author provides a compelling case for inextricably linking feminist and vegetarian theory. This book is likely to both inspire and enrage readers across the political spectrum."
--Library Journal

"An intelligent polemic...Adams's observations are telling, most are seductively sprung...the argument is both thoughtful and hought-provoking."
-- The Kirkus Reviews

"Carol J. Adams's original, provocative book makes a major contribution to the debate on animal rights."
--Publisher's Weekly

"The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the practice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male dominance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian."

--Ms. Magazine

"Depiction of animal exploitation as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two books by Carol J. Adams, The Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and institutionalized violence. The treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society's objectification of women, blacks and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connections that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions."
--Choice

"With this bold and provocative book, a powerful champion of animal rights has entered the lists, challenging the patriarchal domination of the Western world's eating habits."
--National Women's Studies Association Journal

"The Sexual Politics of Meat couldn't be more timely, or more disturbing."
