Description: "Teaching Liberation is an encompassing and provocative collection of essays by international scholars of critical animal studies who are engaged in day-to-day work in the classroom. Recognizing the crisis facing education and the development of the engaged citizen in a time of catastrophic climate change and the destruction of the other-than-human world, Teaching Liberation is a clarion call for a new vision of what it means to teach, learn, and meet the challenges of a profoundly altered future"--
