Book SynopsisComing from the worlds of cultural anthropology, geography, philosophy, science fiction, poetry, and fine art, the contributors to this volume consider the possibility for multispecies justice and speculate on the forms it would take.
Trade Review"[A] vibrant edited volume. . . . The case studies offer much for higher-level scholars in anthropology, human geography, environmental studies, human-animal studies, and applied philosophy. . . . Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals." -- S. M. Weiss * Choice *
"The chapters of essays, poetry, art, and framing in this volume are powerful and generative, including for anyone interested in social justice, multispecies studies, and the human and non-human injustices that characterize much of the contemporary world." (translated from Spanish) -- Maron E. Greenleaf * Estudios Publicos *
"In blurring conventional justices—climate, environmental, social—we are guided by analytics that intersect race, gender, class, and species. The authors remind us that naming justices and injustices provides stories of both incremental hope and lasting nightmare in the reorganization of epistemological, ontological, and political promise. Each volume expands Western continental philosophy and political theory related to rights and capabilities, ever resistant to human mastery and institutional capture." -- Kellen Copeland * American Ethnologist *
"
The Promise of Multispecies Justice provides novel and thought-provoking perspectives concerning the experience of injustice and justice. It is a compulsory read for scholars in many fields, from the diverse fields of human, social, and life sciences. It is relevant and valuable for anyone interested in how to transit towards a fairer society." -- Pirjo Kristiina Virtanen * Anthropology Book Forum *
