Liberation at the End of Usefulness

On the Intersections of Disability, Animality, and Earth

Amanda Williams | Mich Ciurria | Nathan Poirier

Philosophy / Social

This book gathers essays at the intersection of disability justice, animal liberation, and environmental resistance. With a focus on dismantling interlocking structures of oppression, contributors explore how dominant ways of knowing and organizing life on Earth pathologize difference, punish interdependence, and legitimize the exploitation of marginalized beings. From critical veganism to abolitionist perspectives on human and more-than-human labor, the volume traces a shared logic of disposability across systems of oppression—and imagines alternatives rooted in care, relationality, and the refusal to be useful. This book challenges readers to confront the unnatural hierarchies that structure modern life and invites a rethinking of liberation that centers the most marginalized—across species, bodies, and worlds.

Mich Ciurria is a Research Associate at York University’s Centre for Feminist Research.

Amanda R. Williams is a total liberation activist and author.
