Abstract

[This explores the transnational turn of animal activism. It does this by studying the activism of Lyn White, who was perhaps one of the most effective animal activists in the modern period. What made White different to her local counterparts was her transnational activism, her ability to shift her activism from the domestic to the international sphere, and vice versa. White campaigned on animal issues across national borders, she operated in foreign cultures and risky environments and networked with people and groups. In the course of her activism, she developed a repertoire that this book terms ‘transnational investigative campaigning’. This method of activism was characterised in three ways: international sites of contention, transnational activist networks, and old and new media engagement. Transnational investigative campaigning had implications for both domestic and global politics.]
