Pornography of Meat

by Carol J. Adams

Published 2 February 2016
For 30 years since the publication of her landmark polemic The Sexual Politics of Meat, Carol J. Adams and her readers have continued to document and hold to account the degrading interplay of the language of women and meat in advertising, politics and media. Including over 100 images, the sequel, The Pornography of Meat charts the continued influence of this language and the fight against it.

The Bloomsbury Revelations edition of The Pornography of Meat brings the book up-to-date to include the growth of online media and advertising, the impact of Donald Trump and the alt-right on our political language and the #MeToo movement. Never has this book - or Adams' analysis - been more relevant.
