First collective research book on vegan activism published

The first collective research book prepared with the contributions of vegan academics and researchers in Turkey, titled 'Who is in the Cage? - Vegan Activism on the Axis of Market, Resistance and Cultural Production', has been published.

The Purpose of the Book

Edited by Şeyma Esin Erben, the work was prepared with the contributions of vegan academics in Turkey and brought to readers by Yeni İnsan Yayınevi.

The book offers the perspective of individuals who speak directly from within the animal liberation struggle rather than a production of knowledge looking at it from the outside.

Critique of Systematic Exploitation

While billions of animals are made objects of human use every year, this system is sustained not only by individual choices but by economic and cultural structures.

The study treats veganism as an ethical and political field of struggle against approaches that see it merely as a diet or lifestyle.

Core Issues Discussed

According to the promotional text, the work examines the relationship of speciesism with capitalism and the state, the possibilities of resistance within the vegan movement, and the role of culture in exploitation.

How media and art can reproduce animal exploitation or object to it are among the main topics discussed in the book.

A New Ground for Discussion

The book titled Who is in the Cage? aims to go beyond established assumptions and open a new, polyphonic ground for discussion on animal liberation.

The goal of the study, beyond exposing violence, is to make the structures and discourses that produce it visible and to seek ways for a better veganism.
