Overview

"With 180 illustrations, this title establishes why Adams's slide show, upon which ""The Pornography of Meat"" is based, is so popular on campuses across North America 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."

Adams's radical feminist sensibilities are especially prominent in her provocative new book, The Pornography of Meat, in which she exposes the insidious linkage that is regularly established between images of women and of animals/meat in advertising, restaurant menus, pornographic magazines, and other media outlets as consumable objects on display in our contemporary culture .Adams addresses a whole series of very important issues in her book, including the objectification of women, misogyny, racism, rape, male dominance and entitlement, domestic violence, pornography, and the cruel treatment of animals .Readers should obtain a copy of The Pornography of Meat if they wish to view the kinds of visual representatinos of women and animals in our modern consumer society that reveal the grave dangers that result from perpetuating the myth of male dominance.
