"Nailing Descartes to the wall": Animal Rights, Veganism and Punk Culture

Jim Donaghey, Will Boisseau

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter examines the frequent overlap between punk culture and animal rights/vegan consumption habits. It is argued that this relationship is most strongly and consistently expressed, and most sensibly understood, in connection with anarchism. The research is drawn from the UK with participant observation and interviews from 2013/14.
