Teachers as Intellectuals: Toward a Critical Pedagogy of Learning

This book addresses the persistence of meat consumption and the use of animals as food in spite of significant challenges to their environmental and ethical legitimacy. It identifies what contributes to the persistent edibility of ‘food’ animals, even as this edibility is increasingly critiqued. Beginning with the question of how animals are variously mapped by humans according to their use value, it gradually unpacks the roots of our domination of ‘food’ animals – a domination distinguished by the literal embodiment of the ‘other’.
