Biography
Alfonso Donoso is Associate Professor at the Institute of Political Science and the Institute of Applied Ethics, Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. His research focuses on animal and environmental ethics and justice, non-anthropocentric rights and institutions, and political obligations toward the nonhuman.
"In this vitally important book, Donoso highlights how the widespread violence enacted on animals is not the result of the actions of cruel individuals, but of structural injustice. It brilliantly applies normative theorising to real-world cases to reveal the interwoven nature of the oppression of humans and animals."
Professor Alasdair Cochrane, author of Sentientist Politics
"Alfonso Donoso offers a powerful and elegant argument for taking the claims of other animals seriously in our moral and political life. Through an analysis of oppression, he shows that the injustices inflicted on humans and non-human animals are products of the same institutional logics. Essential reading for anyone concerned with building a more just and compassionate future."
Melanie Challenger, author of Alive: The Hidden Intelligence of the Living World and co-director of Animals in the Room
