Unknown Author

4.9/5 (10251 ratings)

Description:The animal agriculture industry, like other profit-driven industries, aggressively seeks to shield itself from public scrutiny and uses a distinct set of rhetorical strategies to deflect criticism. These tactics are fundamental to modern animal agriculture but have long evaded critical analysis. In Meatsplaining, academic and activist contributors investigate the many forms of denialism perpetuated by the animal agriculture industry. What strategies does the industry use to avoid questions about animal welfare, the environment and public health, and what narratives, myths, and fantasies does it promote to sustain its image in the public imagination?‘Noam Chomsky famously advised citizens in democratic societies to take “a course in intellectual self-defense to protect themselves from manipulation and control.” This book offers just such a course and provides a necessary corrective to the fantasy world created by meat industry propaganda. As we grapple with a global zoonotic pandemic and biodiversity crisis, it is urgent for us to reject the capitalist phantasmagoria of meat production and consumption and start thinking clearly about who and what is on our plates.’ Professor John Sorenson, Brock UniversityWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
