520 |a "Pulitzer Prize winning author and activist Alice Walker has for decades spoken out in defense of the oppressed. Her writings address the intersections of racist, sexist, heterosexist, classist, and, increasingly, speciesist oppressions, and she has made clear the importance of reducing violence and creating peace where possible. In light of Walker's call to action, this book analyzes her seven novels in order to offer a fresh reading at the complex intersection of critical race studies and critical animal studies. Grounded in ecofeminist theory, this literary analysis examines the author's evolving views on animals, tying these views into her discussions of other oppressed groups. It argues that Walker's fiction can help readers understand and perhaps challenge American culture's mistreatment of nonhuman animals"--  |c Provided by publisher.
