Reviews

Combining personal narratives and gender studies with ecofeminism and pop culture, The Vegan Studies Project offers a brilliant analysis of the impact of vegans and veganism on America's cultural landscape. Laura Wright's argument for a new field of vegan studies rings true, and this book will be the foundational text.-- "Hal Herzog, author of Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It's So Hard to Think Straight about Animals"

Studies like Laura Wright's--more than anything else--show how the vegan and vegetarian label and identity are a millstone and a barrier that hinders wider society's willingness to engage seriously with the rights and wrongs of producing, killing, and eating so many animals. If our strategy is to lessen the harm wreaked on the animals with which humans share this planet, perhaps the strongest lesson we can draw from this work is to step aside from the vegan and vegetarian identity.-- "Tristram Stuart, author of The Bloodless Revolution: A Cultural History of Vegetarianism from 1600 to Modern Times and Waste: Uncovering the Global Food Scandal"
