Advocacy for veganism and animal liberation is neither a new nor a Western phenomenon – but plant-based capitalism is
Popular media discourses and heated debates on possible transitions to plant-based food systems can sometimes give the impression that veganism is a newfangled trend or that advocacy for animals is an intrinsically Western or even ‘white’ social phenomenon.
However, such portrayals neglect how advocacy for Earth Others can be traced way back in the global history of ideas – and ignore contemporary forms of non-Western veganism, according to PhD student Naja Yndal-Olsen.
