In this lively, accessible, and provocative collection, Aph and Syl Ko provide new theoretical frameworks on race, advocacy for nonhuman animals, and feminism. Using popular culture as a point of reference for their critiques, the Ko sisters engage in groundbreaking analysis of the compartmentalized nature of contemporary social movements, present new ways of understanding interconnected oppressions, and offer conceptual ways of moving forward expressive of Afrofuturism and black veganism.

i love the ko sisters and i love everything they say and talk about and also the way they write and basically i love what's in this book.

what doesn't work for me is that it isn't really a book. it is more transferring a blog onto pages and well calling it a book lol.

which can work or not i guess. and it didn't really work for me this time.

it could and should have been a way smoother reading especially because im into everything they say and because the writing is super accessbile.

but i just was never fully engage and i dread finishing this sometimes.

now i need some cool fiction for detox.
