Abstract
In her afterword, Carol Adams reflects upon a number of interconnected topics such as the political turn, interspecies studies in general, and how a question about the failure of the nonhuman animal movement is posed and its implications. Based on a feminist, antiracist position, Adams observes that the relevance and impact of female and feminist voices have been under-consi dered. Adams argues that the political turn raises the wrong question for the movement. The question, she posits, is not whether the movement has failed and if so why, but rather whether we have managed to grasp the fundamentally oppressive worldview in which the movement as a whole currently operates. She concludes that the way forward for the movement is to challenge such a worldview.
