Carol J. Adams

Providing entertaining capsules of each of Austen's beloved novels, along with information on such important subjects as white soup, carriages, what happened at the ha-ha, and, of course, all those characters we love to hate, this book will be of interest to both Janeite and newcomer alike.

"How does someone become a piece of meat? Carol J. Adams answers this question in this provocative book by uncovering hidden meanings in the culture around us. From advertisements to T-shirts, from billboards to menus, from matchbook covers to comics, images of women and animals are merged - with devastating consequences." "Like The Sexual Politics of Meat, which has been published in two editions, The Pornography of Meat uncovers startling connections: why pornography demonstrates such a fascination with slaughtering and hunting; fixations on women's body parts expressed through ads for the breasts, legs, and thighs of chickens and turkeys; animals to be eaten presented in seductive poses and sexy clothing; back-entry poses in pornography, implying that women - especially women of color - are like animals: insatiable; how meat advertising draws on X-rated images; and why at least one prominent animal-rights group is actually "in bed" with pornographers." "With more than two hundred illustrations, this book establishes why Adams's slide show, upon which The Pornography of Meat is based, is so popular on college campuses and is reviled by the groups she takes on with insight and passion. From the rise of chain steakhouses to the language of the hunt, from the halls of government to the practice of artificial insemination on farm animals, The Pornography of Meat shows exactly how harm to others parades as fun."--Jacket.

"In this landmark work of animal rights activism, Carol J. Adams - the bestselling author of The Sexual Politics of Meat - explores the intersections and common causes of feminism and the defense of animals. Neither Man Nor Beast explores the common link between cultural attitudes to women and animals in modern Western culture that have enabled the systematic exploitation of both. A vivid work that takes in environmental ethics, theological perspectives and feminist theory, the Bloomsbury Revelations edition includes a new foreword by the author and new images illustrating the continuing relevance of the book today."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

""The connections traced between rampant masculinity, misogyny, carnivorism, and militarism operate as powerfully today as when Carol Adams first diagnosed them twenty years ago." JM Coetzee" "For twenty years, The Sexual Politics of Meat has inspired, engaged, and challenged readers. Now , with a preface by Nellie McKay, an expansive new Introduction by the author, and 8 pages of images culled from popular culture, The Sexual Politics of Meat is as startling, revelatory, thought-provoking, and life-changing as when it first appeared." "A bible of the vegan community." New York Times" ""Her argument is rational and persuasive . New ground -whole acres of it - is broken by Adams." Washington Post" ""Important and provocative . Likely to both inspire and enrage readers across the political spectrum." Library Journal" ""Adams's original, provocative book makes a major contribution to the debate on animal rights." Publishers Weekly" ""The Sexual Politics of Meat couldn't be more timely, or more disturbing." Environmental Ethics."--BOOK JACKET.

The burger, long the All-American meal, is undergoing an identity crisis. From its shifting place in popular culture to the efforts, by investors like Bill Gates, to seek to find the non-animal burger that can feed the world, the burger's identity has become as malleable as that patty of protein, itself, before it is thrown on a grill. Carol Adams's Burger is a fast-paced and eclectic exploration of the history, business, cultural dynamics and gender politics of the ordinary hamburger.
