This book explores the potential of men’s veganism to contest
unsustainable anthropocentric masculinities. Examining what it means
to be a vegan man and connections between men, masculinities and
veganism, it addresses exploitative human-animal relations, climate
change, and social inequalities as urgent and interconnected global
issues. Using conceptual insights from critical studies on men and
masculinities, ecofeminism, critical animal studies and vegan studies,
this book examines the potential of men’s veganism and vegan
masculinities to foster more ethical, caring and sustainable ways of
relating to nonhuman animals and to contribute towards more
egalitarian gender relations. This book is grounded in a qualitative
empirical study of the lived experiences of 61 vegan men in Northern
Europe. The themes explored include men’s transition to veganism,
the emotional and embodied dimensions of men’s veganism, negotiating
social and intimate relationships as vegan men, and links between
men’s veganism, gender equality and social justice.
