has been described as "a book of monumental importance for animal rights" and "a giant step for animal-kind...intensely powerful.” The author argues that the cruel treatment of nonhuman animals is often masked by the euphemisms we use, and that the language we use erases the individuality of animals. She dispels the myth that language separates humans from nonhumans. This book is a great resource for those who want to explore how our language shapes our reality!
This book is available through online booksellers or as a loan from the CAA office library. There is one copy available through the Ramsey County Library.
Anyone is welcome to join in the discussion! If you would like to join the book club or have any questions, please contact Suzy at suzy@exploreveg.org.
