Biography

Elizabeth Cherry is Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Manhattanville College, USA.

‘In this lovely comparison of French and American animal rights movements, Cherry helps us understand why the French have so resisted vegetarianism, among other differences. She also shows how culture and strategy are deeply entwined, an important lesson for scholars as well as activists.’ - James M. Jasper, Graduate Center of the City University of New York, USA
