For 30 years, since the publication of her landmark book The Sexual Politics of Meat, Carol J. Adams and her readers have continued to document and hold to account the degrading interplay of language about women, domesticated animals, and meat in advertising, politics, and media. Serving as sequel and visual companion, The Pornography of Meat charts the continued influence of this language and the fight against it. This new edition includes more than 300 images, most of them new, and brings the book up to date to include expressions of misogyny in online media and advertising, the #MeToo movement, and the impact of Donald Trump and white supremacy on our political language. Never has this book--or Adams's analysis--been more relevant.
The Pornography of Meat: New and Updated Edition
Carol J. Adams
The Pornography of Meat, a visual companion and sequel to the seminal The Sexual Politics of Meat, charts how representations in our culture are evidence of overlapping oppressions of misogyny, white supremacy, homophobia, ableism, and human superiority. This revised edition includes over 300 images and has been updated to cover digital media, the language of Trump and the #MeToo movement.
