be published about the Earth liberation movement. If you are
concerned about social justice, environmental justice, animal
liberation, and anarchism then this scholarly text of classic
writings on the ELF is a must-read. You will not be disappointed.
Madelynne Kinoshita, Social Media Coordinator, Save the Kids
“[This book is] [a]n important and timely collection of essays that
help expand our understanding of the ELF, specifically, and
nonhuman liberation, more generally. The essays avoid some of the
more common knee-jerk reactions and engage the issues in
thoughtful, critical, and intellectually stimulating ways. This
collection will no doubt spark important discussion and debate!”
Dr. Jason Del Gandio, author of Rhetoric for Radicals: A Handbook

revolution.” Chris Mendoza, Durango Food Not Bombs
“This outstanding interdisciplinary scholarly text takes us past
the media and political propaganda of eco-terrorism and examines
what the Earth Liberation Front is and how and why they exist.” Dr.
