Texte du rabat

To uncover the connection between homonormativity and animal exploitation, this book travels through notions of queer citizenship, animal justice, colonial constructs of the human, and queer movements for liberation to show how homonormative aspirations of "good queers" can unwittingly further entrench animal abuse.
