Radial Animal Studies: Beyond Respectability Politics, Opportunism, and Cooptation is a scholar-activist book emerging out of the field of Critical Animal Studies (CAS). Radical Animal Studies (RAS) edited by Anthony J. Nocella II and Kim Socha recognizes and values the goal of total liberation and the importance of underground revolutionary direct action. RAS is a complement to, not in conflict with, CAS. Indeed, RAS is dedicated to two of the ten CAS principles: seven (total liberation) and nine (radical politics and strategies). This book is an essential read for social justice community organizers, animal liberation activists, and intersectional total liberation scholars.

Anthony J. Nocella II, Ph.D., international total liberation scholar-activist, is Assistant Professor of Criminology at Salt Lake Community College, Director of Save the Kids, and Executive Director of the Institute for Critical Animal Studies. He had published over forty books and co-founded six journals and five book series.

Kim Socha, Ph.D., is author of Animal Liberation and Atheism: Dismantling the Procrustean Bed and is employed as a social emergency response worker for those facing family violence, housing instability, addiction, and mental health crises.
