Oppressive Liberation / Progress in Mathematics (PDF)

"In this latest book, Lisa Kemmerer details the entrenchment of sexism in elements of the animal advocacy movement. Drawing on survey findings and written accounts of animal advocates, Kemmerer exposes many intra-movement problems and challenges the movement to engage in a process of truth and reconciliation, rightfully pointing out that the goals of anti-speciesism cannot be realized without also addressing sexism and other forms of intersecting oppression."

-Amy J. Fitzgerald, Professor, University of Windsor, Canada

"This powerful and provocative book is essential reading for anyone studying or participating in social movements."

-Emily Gaarder, Associate Professor, University of Minnesota Duluth, USA

"Important, compelling, and provocative, Oppressive Liberation is a long overdue intervention in the problematic gender politics of the anymal rights movement. The book is an urgent reminder that the anymal rights movement has notyet sorted out its responsibilities to feminism or any other social justice issue. Kemmerer draws a much-needed roadmap for moving forward in ways that reject harassment, discrimination, and violence and create healthier, more secure, and more just organizational cultures in the anymal rights movement."

-Katja M. Guenther, Professor, University of California, Riverside, USA
