With keen insight and lyrical prose, \u003cem\u003eBeasts of Burden\u003c\/em\u003e asks us to reconsider long-held assumptions about autonomy, dependence, and what defines a life worth valuing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlending memoir, philosophy, and cultural critique, Taylor draws on her lived experience as a disabled person and lifelong animal advocate to examine how society marginalizes both disabled people and nonhuman animals—often through the same systems of power and exclusion. From the ethics of caregiving to the realities of factory farming, she invites readers to “crip” our understanding of animal ethics, opening the door to new forms of empathy and solidarity across difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Rebecca Solnit has written, “Sunaura Taylor will shake up your categories, turn your world inside out, and tell you a lot of fascinating and important things you didn’t know yet, about your own body and the bodies of others, human and nonhuman, under an inhumane regime.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sunaura Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48552691073275,"sku":"9798893850277","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_ee455a52-433e-457f-8e8a-7d9f942b4beb.jpg?v=1774592900","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/beasts-of-burden-9798893850277","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
