These vanguard groups are judiciously critiqued for their refusal to confront their own misogyny, a quandary that continues to plague animal activists, thereby disallowing for cohesion and full recognition of women?s value within a culturally marginalized cause. This volume is of interest to anyone who is concerned about the continued?indeed, escalating?violence against nonhumans. More broadly, it will interest those seeking new pathways to challenge the dominant power constructions through which oppression of humans, nonhumans, and the environment thrives. Women, Destruction, and the Avant-Garde ultimately poses the animal liberation movement as having serious political and cultural implications for radical social change, destruction of hierarchy and for a world without shackles and cages, much as the Surrealists envisioned. 410 0$aCritical Animal Studies$v1. 606 $aAnimal rights movement 606 $aFeminism 606 $aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAnimal rights movement. 615 0$aFeminism. 615 0$aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$xHistory 676 $a179/.3 700 $aSocha$b Kim$0979954 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453931603321 996 $aWomen, destruction, and the avant-garde$92234921 997 $aUNINA
