Contesting Anthropocentric Masculinities Through Veganism

The book "Contesting Anthropocentric Masculinities Through Veganism" examines the role of veganism in questioning anthropocentric masculinities and their impacts on the environment and society. It highlights the connections between masculinity, veganism, and the associated social inequalities, as well as the challenges of climate change. Through a qualitative study of the experiences of 61 vegan men living in Northern Europe, it addresses topics such as the transition to veganism, the emotional and physical dimensions of the vegan lifestyle, and the negotiation of social and intimate relationships. The book offers an interdisciplinary approach that integrates critical masculinity studies, ecofeminism, and animal studies to demonstrate how vegan men can contribute to more ethical and sustainable relationships with non-human animals while also promoting gender equality.
