Melanie C, aka Sporty Spice, tells her life story in her own words and gives a full and honest account of what life was really like in The Spice Girls.

Mit einem Vorwort von Yuval Noah Harari, Autor von »Eine kurze Geschichte der Menschheit«. »Warum wir Hunde lieben, Schweine essen und Kühe anziehen« analysiert das, was die Sozialpsychologin Melanie Joy als Karnismus bezeichnet – also das Glaubenssystem, das die Menschen dazu bringt, bestimmte Tiere als Haustiere zu halten, sie zu verzehren oder ihr Fell zu tragen – was uns bei anderen Tieren nicht im Traum einfallen würde. Karnismus verursacht großes Tierleid und globale Ungerechtigkeit und treibt uns dazu, gegen unsere ureigenen Interessen und die Interessen anderer zu handeln, ohne dass wir uns dessen bewusst sind. Sich bewusst zu machen, was Karnismus ist und wie er funktioniert, ist für die persönliche Befähigung und den gesellschaftlichen Wandel von entscheidender Bedeutung, da wir dadurch in die Lage versetzt werden, unsere Lebensmittel und unseren Lifestyle freier zu wählen – denn ohne Bewusstsein gibt es keine freie Wahl.

"In The Vegan Matrix, psychologist, longtime vegan advocate, and organizational head Dr. Melanie Joy explores a serious problem in the vegan movement: unexamined privilege. She also examines the struggle to talk effectively about this problem in a way that helps offset it. Using simple, straightforward language and a compassionate tone, Joy explains what privilege is, why it's so important for vegans to become aware of it, and how to talk about it in a way that deepens understanding and helps transform it. In so doing, Joy unpacks some of the many privileges that must be acknowledged and addressed, and calls for more inclusivity and diversity within vegan organizations and the movement as a whole. The Vegan Matrix is a call to awareness and action, empowering vegans to reach a broader audience and to help create a more compassionate and just world"--

A Harvard-educated psychologist and bestselling author identifies the belief system underlying all forms of oppression--which she calls powerarchy--and shows how this new understanding can lead to powerful social and personal transformation. As a prominent vegan activist, Dr. Melanie Joy had long been puzzled that people would become aware of one or more forms of oppression only to stay mired in many others, never seeing the similarities. In this book she identifies, for the first time, the psychological dynamics underlying all oppressive systems, such as racism, sexism, speciesism, and more, which she terms powerarchy. Powerarchy is organized around the belief in a hierarchy of moral worth, which sees some individuals as more worthy of being treated with integrity than others. It reflects and reinforces power dynamics that harm dignity and create power imbalances among social groups and between individuals. Joy says we've targeted the outward manifestations of oppression while leaving its core intact, like weeding a garden without pulling out the roots. She describes the three pillars of powerarchy--psychological defense mechanisms, narratives, and privileges--and shows how to apply this new frame to work more fully toward transformation for ourselves, others, and our world.

Esta obra revolucionaria explora por qué en nuestra cultura nos mostramos tan dispuestos a comer algunos animales mientras que ni se nos pasa por la cabeza comernos a otros. Melanie Joy, psicóloga social, afirma que este fenómeno se explica por un proceso de negación. Hacemos caso omiso de los hechos: de la capacidad de conciencia de los animales, de su capacidad para sentir dolor, de las crueles prácticas ganaderas, de que no necesitamos comer carne y de que, por lo general, sin ella viviríamos más y mejor. «Una lectura obligada para todo el que esté interesado en saber más acerca de qué comemos y por qué.» — Kathy Feston, autora de Veganist, éxito de ventas según The New York Times. «Creo que a Gandhi le hubiera encantado este libro […] Le llevará de la negación a la toma de conciencia, de la pasividad a la acción, de la resignación a la esperanza.» — Del prólogo. «Se trata de un libro extraordinario que podría transformar lo que siente la sociedad respecto a comer animales. Está destinado a convertirse en un clásico.» — Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, autor de The Face on Your Plate Los beneficios obtenidos por la venta de este libro son destinados a Igualdad Animal

The animal liberation movement is growing in size and strength, but so are the industries that exploit animals. These industries have vastly more resources at their disposal than activists do. Given this tremendous power differential, how can activists hope to compete? The good news is that there is a way to shift the balance of power in favor of the movement. And strategy is the way. In Strategic Action for Animals, Melanie Joy explains how to use strategy to exponentially increase the effectiveness of activism for animals. Drawing on diverse movements and sources, she offers tried and true tactics based on well-established principles and practices. She also explains how to address the most common problems that weaken the movement, such as dissidence among organizations and activists, inefficient campaigns, wasted resources, and high rates of burnout. Whether you are working alone or with a group, whether you are a seasoned activist or new to the movement, Strategic Action for Animals, can help you make the most of your efforts to make the world a better place for animals.
