The Supremacist Syndrome

The Supremacist Syndrome asks whether the way people commonly treat other animals is like racism, sexism, and other forms of prejudice. The book’s first part examines whether three different ideologies (nationalist supremacism, racial supremacism, and gender-based supremacism) have common features that we can use to better understand how supremacist ideologies work and how they can be overcome.

The next part of the book considers whether our use of animals for food, like other forms of supremacism, causes unjustified harm to members of a weaker group and is wrong in the same way other forms of supremacism are.

The final chapter discusses what we can do to overcome human supremacism and other supremacist ideologies, providing practical examples of cross-cultural collaboration, humane education, veganism, and broadening our identity beyond the limitations of culture, gender, race, and species.
