UNDERSTANDING VEGANISM Biography and Identity Nathan Stephens Griffin
Palgrave Studies in Animals and Social Problems Series editor Leslie Irvine Department of Sociology University of Colorado Boulder Boulder, CO, USA
This series focuses on how animals matter in social problems. Because animals are incorporated into the economic, sociological, emotional, and moral fabric of society, their roles in social problems have wide-ranging implications. Cruelty to animals, animal fighting, pet prohibitions in rental housing, animal hoarding, wildlife crimes, the illegal traffic in endangered species, and zoonotic disease transmission represent just a few examples of social problems that this series might address.
