Do depictions of crazy cat ladies obscure more sinister structural violence against animals hoarded in factory farms?
Highlighting the frequent pathologization of animal lovers and animal rights activists, this book examines how the madness of our relationships with animals intersects with the madness of taking animals seriously. The essays collected in this volume argue that animaladies are expressive of political and psychological discontent, and the characterization of animal advocacy as mad or crazy distracts attention from broader social unease regarding human exploitation of animal life.
While allusions to madness are both subtle and overt, they are also very often gendered, thought to be overly sentimental with an added sense that emotions are being directed at the wrong species. Animaladies are obstacles for the political uptake of interest in animal issues-as the intersections between this volume and established feminist scholarship show, the fear of being labeled unreasonable or mad still has political currency.

She is currently the Intercultural Competence and Undoing Racism coordinator at AMBS, where she assists the institution in its strategic goals in this area, as well as works on the Communication team as a graphic designer and website specialist. Nekeisha has presented and published extensively in both theological and religious settings on a number of topics such as animal liberation, veganism, and Christian peacemaking; the interconnected nature of human violence toward other animals and violence among human selves; intersecting oppressions of race, gender, and/or species; and anarchist politics and alternative Christian faith and ethics. Her most recent writings include But Isnt All of Creation Violent? in A Faith Encompassing All of Creation: Addressing Commonly Asked Questions about Christian Care of the Environment (Cascade Books, 2014) and Table Talk: The Violence of Grace and Gratitude (The Mennonite, September 2016). She is motivated by the hope and trust that her intellectual efforts around compassion will inspire others to transform their relationships to other creatures. She dedicates her work toward that end to her loved ones, Mocha and Cairo.

Liz has been the graduate organizer for Columbias University Seminar on Disability, Culture, and Society for the past three years, and recently taught her first course on literary animal studies. She is also a widely published poet and critic, whose work has appeared or is forthcoming in Boston Review, Lit Hub, The New Inquiry, the Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies, and Humanimalia: A Journal of Human/Animal Interface Studies.

Her dissertation research examined the gendered commodification of the lives and bodies of animals in the dairy industry in the Pacific Northwestern United States. This work became The Cow with Ear Tag #1389, University of Chicago Press, 2018. She has published in scholarly journals, such as Hypatia and Gender, Place, and Culture, and has coedited two books, Critical Animal Geographies: Politics, Intersections and Hierarchies in a Multispecies World (Routledge 2015, with Rosemary-Claire Collard) and Economies of Death: Economic Logics of Killable Life and Grievable Death (Routledge 2015, with Patricia J.
