Long description
Exactly as the title describes: a new manifesto of-sorts, covering the entire, broad-ranging spectrum of the animal rights movement, from wearing leather and eating meat to animal testing and the use of animals in the entertainment industry. Smart and well-argued, it's animal rights for a new generation - easy to read, accessible, and packed with cartoons, celebrity-endorsements, and practical tips along with the serious facts and figures. Endorsed by renowned writers such as J. M. Coetzee and Gloria Steinem as well as pop culture icons and hot young musicians, this is the 'ultimate primer' for the whip-smart, socially committed, and sound-bite-soaked generation.
Review
[C]ogent and thoroughly researched...[Dawn's] goal is 'to tell you everything you wanted to know about animal rights-but were afraid to get into a fight about -- and to let you weigh that information against your own values,' and she succeeds admirably. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
