The Color of Animal Rights

'The Color of Animal Rights' by A. Breeze Harper, lauren Ornelas

2013 Resistance Ecology Conference

Portland, Oregon

This panel will explore the process of making and unmaking “whiteness” as a latent part of the animal rights movement. It will touch on the shortcomings of animal rights in incorporating critical race politics, geopolitics, and the dynamics of privilege and oppression into its ideological background. In doing so, it will highlight a path to a future, more inclusive, and more successful movement.
