This book explores Veganism through the holistic journeys and lived experiences of former vegans, with a particular focus on the impact this has on their Selfhood and identity. It delves into the complexities underpinning definitions of Veganism and vegan identities.

Based on original qualitative research charting the experiences of ten former vegans, the text offers a theoretical lens for understanding evolving self-perception, identity, and experience, exploring what leads to initiating a transition in and out of Veganism and how former vegans reconcile with losing their vegan identity. Applying a Bakhtinian model of Selfhood, this book explores the tensions between ‘Voices’ representing values within social discourse, such as Veganism, and how individuals co-construct their identity and self-perception through said Voices. Chapters explore the Polyphony within Veganism and offer an insight into the embodied experience of former vegans. Each analysis chapter has been divided into three distinct Threshold-moments of beginning, middle, and end.

Mapping the Holistic Journey of Former Vegans: The Polyphony within Veganism is intended for scholars and postgraduate students interested in Veganism, Selfhood and identity, and behaviour change and anyone looking to understand the context of Veganism in practice.

Reviews for Mapping the Holistic Journey of Former Vegans: The Polyphony within Veganism

Rarely, one encounters a book so startlingly original and insightful it not only captivates one's attention, but thereafter shapes the development of one's thought. Such is my experience after reading Hannah Intezar's book on vegan identities, which situates the journeys of individuals into and out of veganism within the extraordinarily illuminating theoretical framework of Bakhtinian dialogism. A model of clear and vivid exposition, the book is replete with arrestingly novel ideas and perceptions; compellingly readable, thought-provoking, and wholly fresh.” - John Ackroyd, Assistant Professor in Philosophy and Intellectual History, University of Bradford, UK.
