Winner of the Award for Distinguished Scholarship from the Animals & Society Section of the American Sociological Association

This book offers a comparison of the animal rights movements in the US and France, drawing on ethnographic and interview material gathered amongst activists in both countries. Investigating the ways in which culture affects the outcomes of the two movements, the author examines its role as a constraining and enabling structure in both contexts, showing how cultural beliefs, values, and practices at the international, national, and organizational levels shape the strategic and tactical choices available to activists, and shedding light on the reasons for which activists make the choices that they do.

With attention to the different emphases placed by the respective movements on ideological purity and pragmatism, this volume provides an account of why their achievements differ in spite of their shared ultimate goals, offering policy recommendations and suggestions for activists working in a variety of cultures. Informed by the work of Giddens and Bourdieu, Culture and Activism: Animal Rights in France and the United States constitutes an empirically grounded, comparative study of activism that will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, political science, and cultural geography with interests in social movements and social problems.

Culture and Activism

In this lovely comparison of French and American animal rights movements, Cherry helps us understand why the French have so resisted vegetarianism, among other differences. She also shows how culture and strategy are deeply entwined, an important lesson for scholars as well as activists.

Solving Social Problems
Series editor:
Bonnie Berry, Director of the Social Problems
Research Group, USA

Solving Social Problems provides a forum for the description and measurement of social problems, with a keen focus on the concrete remedies proposed for their solution. The series takes an international perspective, exploring social problems in various parts of the world, with the central concern being always their possible remedy. As such, work is welcomed on subjects as diverse as environmental damage, terrorism, economic disparities and economic devastation, poverty, inequalities, domestic assaults and sexual abuse, health care, natural disasters, labour inequality, animal abuse, crime, and mental illness and its treatment. In addition to recommending solutions to social problems, the books in this series are theoretically sophisticated, exploring previous discussions of the issues in question, examining other attempts to resolve them, and adopting and discussing methodologies that are commonly used to measure social problems. Proposed solutions may be framed as changes in policy, practice, or more broadly, social change and social movement. Solutions may be reflective of ideology, but are always pragmatic and detailed, explaining the means by which the suggested solutions might be achieved.

This book grew out of a desire to contribute to academic knowledge on social movements, culture, and humananimal relations, while at the same time contributing to activists understandings of their own work. This research never would have happened without the participation of all of the activists I met in the United States and in France. I am thankful for their generosity of time and attention to this project, and I am humbled by their dedication to working on behalf of nonhuman animals. Thank you to the U.S. activists from the Humane Society of the United States, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Vegan Outreach, and Speak Out for Species, and activists in other organizations, who shared their stories with me. Thank you to the French activists from the Collectif Antispciste de Paris, Association Vgtarienne de France, Welfarm, Stop Gavage, the Cahiers Antispcistes, Veggie Pride, Les Estivales de la Question Animale, Animale Amnistie, lAssociation Vgtarienne & Vgtalienne dInformationS, PETA France, and activists in other organizations, for their time and patience with me. I would especially like to thank Eric Griffith and Wendy Moore from Speak Out for Species for their helpful participation and feedback throughout the project.

Throughout the inception, data collection, analysis, and writing of this project, I was incredibly lucky to have supportive friends and colleagues. At the University of Georgia, I would like to thank David Smilde, Patricia Richards, Linda Grant, and Jim Dowd for their extensive feedback, and Erin Winter-Shirey, Chudamani Basnet, Adam Henne, and Meredith Welch-Devine for their empathy and encouragement. At Manhattanville College, I would like to thank my colleagues for their support, including Patrick Redding, David Gutman, Caralyn Bialo, Meghan Freeman, Beth Williford, Hephzibah Strmic-Pawl, Megan Cifarelli, Lisa Rafanelli, Colin Morris, and Greg Swedberg. Im also especially thankful to have a wonderful mentor down the road in Lisa Jean Moore. I would like to thank everyone who provided feedback on sections of this book, including Ross Haenfler, Heather Macpherson Parrott, Jeff Larson, and Erin Evans.

Special thanks goes to Michael Ramirez for all of our time laughing in the dog park, and to Heather Macpherson Parrott for her feedback and friendship. My familys support has endured; thank you to Ann, Hank, and Henry Cherry. I definitely would not be here without them. Thank you to Nicolas Marie for all of his help during my fieldwork in France, to Nicolas Trempcourt for his transcription help, and to both of them for their friendship. And of course, thank you to my husband Anthony Saunders for his support for this project and for my wellbeing in completing it. I look forward to many more books together.
