Aphro-Ism: Essays on Pop Culture, Feminism, and Black Veganism from Two Sisters by Aph Ko, Syl Ko

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.
