Beasts of Burden : Disability Studies and Animal Rights

*Beasts of Burden: Disability Studies and Animal Rights* by Sunaura Taylor explores the intersections between disability studies and animal rights, offering a compelling critique of societal norms surrounding bodies, productivity, and species. Taylor draws parallels between the oppression of disabled people and the exploitation of non-human animals, arguing that both are marginalized through cultural and economic systems that prioritize utility and independence. Blending personal experiences with philosophical analysis, the book advocates for interdependence, empathy, and justice, challenging readers to reconsider their ethical responsibilities to all beings.
