Veganism

Giraud's navigation of veganism's politics and its move into the mainstream offers invaluable insight into the nuances of veganism's various manifestations. * LSE Review of Books * To date, this critically important work represents perhaps the most comprehensive and theoretically nuanced survey of the culture and politics of veganism. Of particular merit is Eva Haifa Giraud’s careful attention to questions of political strategy, making this book an invaluable tool for social justice movements navigating the politics of food consumption. * Dinesh Joseph Wadiwel, Senior Lecturer of Socio-Legal Studies and Human Rights, University of Sydney, Australia * Eva Haifa Giraud offers a wonderfully engaging and thought-provoking exploration of veganism as a powerful ethical and political praxis. She makes a compelling case for understanding and resisting the appropriation of veganism by capitalist consumer logics, and for ongoing scholarship and activism dedicated to reaffirming veganism’s radical underpinnings. * Kathryn Gillespie, Postdoctoral Scholar, University of Kentucky, USA * A stunningly elegant mediation that explores the interlacing between different forms of veganism, for a genuine dissolution of structural inequalities subjugating animals and humans. Eva Haifa Giraud distils veganism to its barest essence—that food is central in bringing veganism’s fullest potential to fruition—reversing the harms solidified by our current relations to animal and human others. * Yamini Narayanan, Senior Lecturer in International and Community Development, Deakin University, Australia *
