About this product
Product Information
A Harvard-educated psychologist and bestselling author identifies the belief system underlying all forms of oppression--which she calls powerarchy--and shows how this new understanding can lead to powerful social and personal transformation. As a prominent vegan activist, Dr. Melanie Joy had long been puzzled that people would become aware of one or more forms of oppression only to stay mired in many others, never seeing the similarities. In this book she identifies, for the first time, the psychological dynamics underlying all oppressive systems, such as racism, sexism, speciesism, and more, which she terms powerarchy. Powerarchy is organized around the belief in a hierarchy of moral worth, which sees some individuals as more worthy of being treated with integrity than others. It reflects and reinforces power dynamics that harm dignity and create power imbalances among social groups and between individuals. Joy says we've targeted the outward manifestations of oppression while leaving its core intact, like weeding a garden without pulling out the roots. She describes the three pillars of powerarchy--psychological defense mechanisms, narratives, and privileges--and shows how to apply this new frame to work more fully toward transformation for ourselves, others, and our world.

Reviews
"Dr. Melanie Joy is one of the most important theorists of how we rationalize cruelty. Here, she shows the way oppressive ideologies build upon each other by desensitizing us to the worth of other thinking, feeling beings. And more optimistically, she shows how we can rediscover that sensitivity and help others rediscover it as well." --Ezra Klein, Editor-at-Large, Vox, and host of The Ezra Klein Show " Powerarchy has the potential to revolutionize how we think about oppression and to empower our movements for social justice, animal rights, and environmental sustainability." --Moby, musician, author, and activist "In Powerarchy , Melanie Joy--known for her theory that helped empower the animal rights movement--brings her analysis to a new level. She provides a powerful, new unifying theory to help mobilize and unite advocates working for justice for animals, humans, and the environment alike." --Leah GarcƩs, President, Mercy for Animals "Powerarchy is a thought-provoking book that sheds light on the way we think about oppression and social justice." --Marianne Williamson, speaker, activist, and author of four #1 New York Times bestselling books, "Dr. Melanie Joy is one of the most important theorists of how we rationalize cruelty.

Melanie Joy presents a brilliant and riveting analysis of why people support oppressive systems and abusive behaviors and of what we can do to change this." --Lisa Bloom, civil rights attorney and author of Suspicion Nation "In Powerarchy , Melanie Joy--known for her theory that helped empower the animal rights movement -- brings her analysis to a new level.
