"2018 American Book Award WinnerA beautifully written, deeply provocative inquiry into the intersection of animal and disability liberation—and the debut of an important new social criticHow much of what we understand of ourselves as “human” depends on our physical and mental abilities—how we move (or cannot move) in and interact with the world? And how much of our definition of “human” depends on its difference from “animal”?Drawing on her own experiences as a disabled person, a disability activist, and an animal advocate, author Sunaura Taylor persuades us to think deeply, and sometimes uncomfortably, about what divides the human from the animal, the disabled from the nondisabled—and what it might mean to break down those divisions, to claim the animal and the vulnerable in ourselves, in a process she calls “cripping animal ethics.”Beasts of Burden suggests that issues of disability and animal justice—which have heretofore primarily been presented in opposition—are in fact deeply entangled. Fusing philosophy, memoir, science, and the radical truths these disciplines can bring—whether about factory farming, disability oppression, or our assumptions of human superiority over animals—Taylor draws attention to new worlds of experience and empathy that can open up important avenues of solidarity across species and ability. Beasts of Burden is a wonderfully engaging and elegantly written work, both philosophical and personal, by a brilliant new voice."--Provided by publisher.

Petite fille, Sunaura Taylor entend des enfants dire qu’elle marche comme un singe, mange comme un chien et que son handicap la fait ressembler à un animal. Elle, qui aime tant les animaux, s’étonne que cette comparaison soit péjorative car, après tout, l’être humain est un animal.Bien entourée par sa famille pendant toute son enfance, Sunaura Taylor désire ardemment se mettre en lien avec le monde et vivre sa vie. Mais atteinte d’arthrogrypose, une maladie congénitale qui affecte les articulations, elle va s’apercevoir que la société est pensée par et pour les bien-portants, les seuls qu’elle valide et légitime.Qu’est-ce qui nous autorise à déconsidérer certains êtres vivants jusqu’à parfois les déclasser ? Militante de longue date pour la cause animale, Sunaura Taylor montre combien la discrimination envers des personnes non valides procède du même mécanisme social et culturel que la maltraitance et l’exploitation des animaux. Personnes handicapées et animaux sont vus comme des êtres incapables, des fardeaux, dépourvus des facultés qui donneraient valeur à l’existence. En partageant son expérience, nourrie par un corpus de connaissances, Sunaura Taylor signe un premier livre récompensé en 2018 par l’ American Book Award et pour la première fois traduit en français.Braves bêtes va marquer l’histoire de la pensée mais aussi ses lecteurs, qui en sortiront transformés et grandis. Un monde s’ouvre à nous.
