Rezensionen

"The Routledge Companion to Gender and Animals is an immense achievement. Taylor (Univ. of Alberta, Canada) has done a superb job of acquiring, editing, proofing, and introducing the 50 original chapters in this weighty collection (notably, however, each is one set in smallish font). Representing almost every corner of the Anglophone world, the 49 authors offer cutting-edge, intersectional thinking on human and more-than-human animal relationships through a variety of critical perspectives, representing, for example, (eco)feminist, critical race, anti-colonial, critical disability, queer, and masculinity studies. In her lengthy introduction, Taylor itemizes several key reasons why it is important to think about issues of gender and animals together, skillfully showing how and why, given the current era of climate catastrophe, we must find paths toward multispecies justice. The collection has nine parts covering theoretical foundations, intersectional veganisms, feminist care ethics, feminist multispecies methods, transfeminisms, masculinities, gender and animals in folklore and fiction, activism and advocacy, multispecies justice, and multispecies futures. This particular Routledge Companion is crucial reading for all scholars and students working in the multidisciplinary field of critical animal studies."
