This book was so wonderful and radical and definitely changed the way I look at anti racism, veganism, and activism in general. Everyone should read this.

"un giorno dovremo uscire dalle trincee e iniziare a costruire il mondo che abbiamo sempre sognato, ed è necessario cominciare a lavorare già oggi sulle mappe concettuali di quel mondo. L'afrofuturismo ci dà lo spazio e il tempo per iniziare a lavorarci."
Uno dei pochi testi che parla di speranza <3
Faticosa, difficile, lunga, dura ma possibile speranza

Such an amazing read. I took my time with this book. I'm not a slow place reader, but I really wanted to let every bit of what I was reading soak in and be chewed over. So it's taken me a year, but now I'm going to reread it cause it was that needed.

A nice collection of essays that make us reflect on the human-animal binary. The Ko sisters describe the link between racism and animal discrimination, and showing how intrinsic they are to colonialism. They postulate, and rightly so, that we cannot achieve animal rights until we achieve equal rights for all beings, starting with all humans of any race/gender/nationality/ability.
The only issue I found with this book is editing - it becomes repetitive, both throughout a chapter and between chapters. However, the Ko sisters make their points across in an easy and understandable way.
