Yes, a new edition of my book, first published in 1990, is now available!

I know it has engaged, enraged, inspired and challenged readers with its exploration of the interplay between society's ingrained cultural misogyny and its obsession with eating animals and masculinity. It’s become an iconic book, referenced in rock songs, feminist artwork and even a Law and Order SVU episode. Published to celebrate the book's 35th anniversary, this Bloomsbury Revelations edition includes a new introduction that reflects on how recent events continue to prove, sadly, the relevance of the book.

Being attentive to our daily practices helps to anchor resistance. Being vegan is a progressive response to an exploitative world: it expands kindness, resists climate change, and rejects the patriarchal symbols of meat, eggs, and dairy. It’s tasty, too!

Veganism and Cycling? Yes!

The essays in this collection explore the unity between cycling for health, work, competition, transport, and joy, and the issues of animal suffering, environmentalism, and speciesism inherent in veganism—all through lenses of class, race, gender, and disability. Pedaling Resistance illuminates themes of everyday resistance and boundary crossing to uncover the greater social and political issues that underlie the decisions to give up animal products and choose cycling over driving.

A new edition of Living Among Meat Eaters (2023)

The book provides strategies for conversations, insights into hostile behavior, and tips for dining out and entertaining at home among non-vegans, who, after all, are perfectly happy eating vegan food as long as they don't know that is what they are doing.
