Working for social justice includes recognizing how forms of oppression overlap and intersect.
From my first book, The Sexual Politics of Meat, to the present time, my concern has been to examine and expose oppressive forces while providing a theory for resisting.
Resisting also includes how we live day to day,
As a result, I have also edited and co-edited collections of writings and authored and co-authored books on vegan living.
Newly-released Books:
A new edition of Living Among Meat Eaters
In this second edition of her bold and original book, Carol J. Adams offers real-life advice that vegetarians and vegans can use to defuse any situation where their food choices come under attack. She suggests viewing meat eaters as blocked, and their responses to vegans and vegetarians as signs of what keeps them from changing. The book provides strategies for conversations, insights into hostile behavior, and tips for dining out and entertaining at home among meat eaters, who Adams points out are perfectly happy eating vegan food as long as they don't know that is what they are doing.
