Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Spiegel, executive director of the Institute for the Development of Earth Awareness, has revised her 1989 book to present an in-depth exploration of the similarities between the violence humans have wrought against other humans and our culture's treatment of animals. Using considerable scholarship, she makes a strong case for links between white oppression of black slaves and human oppression of animals. Her thesis is not that the oppressions suffered by black people and animals have taken identical forms but that they share the same relationship between the oppressor and the oppressed. These comparisons include the brandings and auctions of both slaves and animals, the hideous means of transport (slave ships, truckloads of cattle), and the tearing of offspring from their mothers. Her illustrative juxtapositions are graphic, e.g., a photograph of a chimpanzee in a syphilis experiment beside a photo of a black man in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. As Alice Walker writes in the preface, "This powerful book...will take a lifetime to forget." Chilling yet enlightening, this provocative book is vitally important in our efforts to understand the roots of individual and societal violence. It belongs in all libraries.

Marjorie Spiegel has captured the essence of violence - domination and control. She presents an accurate portrayal and case that violence towards non-human animals holds the key and ultimate solution to the creation of a violencefree society. Her ideas and images run deep and should be required reading in our schools and homes. This brief, but to the point manuscript speaks volumes to the pain and suffering we have created as a result of so called human progress.
Format:Taschenbuch
If your looking for a long in depth book, this is not for you. But if you're looking for a really interesting quick read, you're in luck. This book first introduced to me to the concept of speciesism. It is an interesting comparison between animal slavery and human slavery. It also examines the relationship between the oppressors and the oppressed. This book is very well done.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
THE DREADED COMPARISON provocatively presents the first in-depth exploration of the similarities between the violence humans have wrought against other humans, and our culture's treatment of non-human animals. Marjorie Spiegel's examination of power and the source of oppressive behavior is essential reading for anyone interested in psychology, history, African-American studies, or animals. This highly original book is at once chilling and enlightening, and vitally important to our efforts to understand the roots of individual and societal violence.

Two difficult subjects handled with care
This book covers human and animal slavery in an incisive way. Ms. Spiegel uncovers many interesting facts and presents them in a way many people will understand.
