Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queer and Animal Provocations explores encounters between queer liberation and animal subjugation to discover how the struggles for acceptable queer identity are entwined with entrenching animal exploitation. To uncover this connection, Jessica Ison interrogates queer citizenship, animal justice, colonial constructs of the human, sexual violence, animal abuse registries and queer movements for liberation. This book disentangles the exploitation of animals from queer liberation, arguing that scholars and activists should take action through solidarity and mutual support that abolishes cages and systems of injustice.
