Now Available—‘Animal Resistance in the Global Capitalist Era’

Animal Resistance in the Global Capitalist Era is available as of today! This book explores the understudied phenomenon of animal resistance against human domination.

For as long as animals have been oppressed, they have defied human control. Animal Resistance in the Global Capitalist Era sheds light on the untold stories of non-human defiance. Monkeys escape from laboratory cages, pigs refuse to descend the slaughterhouse chute, goats liberate their herd from livestock auctions, beavers build traps into their dams, whales sink ships to defend their kin, elephants retaliate against circus abuses . . . these acts of defiance speak volumes.

Animal Resistance in the Global Capitalist Era offers an overview of how animals resist human orderings in the context of capitalism, domestication, and colonization. By collecting and assembling the stories of animals who have rebelled and rebel every day against their oppression, this book calls upon us to listen to and recognize them as fellow beings in the struggle for justice.

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Marc Bekoff about the book. The interview, ‘Listening to the Voices of Animals Who Resist Exploitation,’ is published on Psychology Today’s website.
