Her writings address the intersections of racist, sexist, heterosexist, classist, and, increasingly, speciesist oppressions, and she has made clear the importance of reducing violence and creating peace where possible. In light of Walker's call to action, this book analyzes seven of her novels to offer a fresh reading situated at the complex intersection of critical race studies and critical animal studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Grounded in ecofeminist theory, this literary analysis examines Walker's evolving views on animals in relation to her discussions of other oppressed groups. Pamela B. June argues that Walker's fiction can help readers understand and perhaps challenge American culture's mistreatment of nonhuman animals. Walker has withstood criticism for her decision to abandon vegetarianism, and this book also problematizes the slippery territory of viewing writers as moral guides. \u003ci\u003eSolidarity with the Other Beings on the Planet\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to readers in literary studies, ecofeminist studies, African American studies, and critical animal studies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pamela B.
