Carol J. Adams

Carol J. Adams is an American author, feminist and animal rights advocate. She is best known for The Sexual Politics of Meat, a groundbreaking work that drew connections between the oppression of women and the exploitation of animals. She has written and edited numerous books on feminism, veganism and the ethics of food. Burger examines the cultural, environmental and ethical dimensions of one of the world's most popular foods. Adams brings her characteristic combination of cultural analysis and moral inquiry to explore what the hamburger reveals about our relationship with animals, the environment, industrialised agriculture and consumer culture. Available as both a book and an audiobook, Burger offers thought-provoking listening and reading for anyone interested in food culture, animal ethics, environmentalism and the surprisingly complex story behind the world's most iconic fast food.
