What are the possibilities for multispecies justice? How do social justice struggles intersect with the lives of animals, plants, and other creatures? Leading thinkers in anthropology, geography, philosophy, speculative fiction, poetry, and contemporary art answer these questions from diverse grounded locations. In America, Indigenous peoples and prisoners are decolonizing multispecies relations in unceded territory and carceral landscapes. Small justices are emerging in Tanzanian markets, near banana plantations in the Philippines, and in abandoned buildings of Azerbaijan as people navigate relations with feral dogs, weeds, rats, and pesticides. Conflicts over rights of nature are intensifying in Colombia's Amazon. Specters of justice are emerging in India, while children in Micronesia memorialize extinct bird species. Engaging with ideas about environmental justice, restorative justice, and other species of justice, The Promise of Multispecies Justice holds open the possibility of flourishing in multispecies worlds, present and to come.

Industry Reviews
"The chapters of essays, poetry, art, and framing in this volume are powerful and generative, including for anyone interested in social justice, multispecies studies, and the human and non-human injustices that characterize much of the contemporary world." (translated from Spanish) -- Maron E. Greenleaf * Estudios Publicos *
"In blurring conventional justices-climate, environmental, social-we are guided by analytics that intersect race, gender, class, and species. The authors remind us that naming justices and injustices provides stories of both incremental hope and lasting nightmare in the reorganization of epistemological, ontological, and political promise. Each volume expands Western continental philosophy and political theory related to rights and capabilities, ever resistant to human mastery and institutional capture." -- Kellen Copeland * American Ethnologist *
"The Promise of Multispecies Justice provides novel and thought-provoking perspectives concerning the experience of injustice and justice. It is a compulsory read for scholars in many fields, from the diverse fields of human, social, and life sciences. It is relevant and valuable for anyone interested in how to transit towards a fairer society." -- Pirjo Kristiina Virtanen * Anthropology Book Forum *
