Five Essays for Freedom: A political primer for animal advocates By Kristy Alger 

An extremely important book for anyone looking to go vegan. Understanding the politics of animal exploitation is essential for anyone committed to veganism and that is exactly what Kirsty explains in detail. Kristy argues that merely promoting veganism as another capitalist consumer venture will do nothing for animal liberation and provides a compelling look at how animal exploitation works globally and how it interlinks with other oppressive systems.This book provides an excellent look at why the recent boom in veganism as a cultural phenomenon has done very little for animal rights and what we can do to change this.
