Radykalny weganizm osób kolorowych
Radical Veganism of People of Color

Summary/Abstract: This essay problematizes the complicated relationship between speciesist and racist oppression. Even though the live experience of exploitation and the long struggle for justice and rights makes racialized groups especially sensitive to the suffering of the Other, the link between human and non-human animals’interests is, suprisingly, not so easy to make. Things are additionally complicated by the fact that veganism is usually perceived as a white, privileged lifestyle, therefore culturally alienating to people of color. This sense of alienation can be explained by the interiorization of colonial notions of identity, which label people of color as „natural meat eaters”. The goal of radical vegans of color, a group of activists rapidly gaining visibility, is to dismantle the colonial matrix of power and struggle for a world free of all forms of oppresion. This essay attempts to present their ideological positions.
