Education for Total Liberation Critical Animal Pedagogy and Teaching Against Speciesism

“«Education for Total Liberation» is a must-read for activists, students and scholars. Finally, an entire book on critical animal pedagogy! This important text calls for a radicalising of what the field of critical animal pedagogy stands for and the different perspectives that exist across the field in both theory and practice. What an exciting book!”
Lara Drew, member of the Executive Board of Directors of the Institute for Critical Animal Studies
“As it becomes increasingly obvious that our planet is being murdered by antiquated ideologies and beliefs (e.g., capitalism, speciesism, and delusions of human supremacism), it is essential that these ideologies and beliefs are deconstructed with sound theory and reconstituted with alternative strategies of action. This book is an excellent mix of both theory and action as it pertains to teaching the pedagogy of critical animal studies.”
Mark Seis, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, Fort Lewis College
"A truly powerful intersectional book dedicated to social justice education. This anthology is international and dedicated to collaborative, transformative, critical, and inclusive pedagogy. Read this book if you are interested in advancing the pedagogical realm."
Moneka Stevens, Save the Kids
"Primary education and the academy are powerful ideological agents that justify and normalize the entangled oppression of humans and other animals. This important CAS volume of powerful, transformative strategies and techniques should be required reading for all educators and justice advocates."
David Nibert, Wittenberg University
"«Education for Total Liberation» is timely, provocative, engaging, and informative. The contributors ask us to rethink our relation to ourselves, the natural environment, nonhuman animals, systems of domination, and education. This is a wonderful book and a must-read!"
Jason Del Gandio, co-editor of «Spontaneous Combustion: The Eros Effect and Global Revolution»
