Veganism As A Cultural Movement
A study of vegans both involved with punk subculture and not, and how these groups define and practice veganism.
Punk vegans adhere strictly to the Vegan Society and are frustrated by those who do not.
Non-punk vegans adopt personalized, idiosyncratic definitions of veganism.
Supportive social networks are invaluable to sustaining and maintaining a vegan lifestyle.
The disconnect between organized and unorganized participants seems to be detrimental to the vegan movement since a large number of sympathetic individuals are not participating in the movement.
The cultural and dialogical practices within these two groups social networks enabled punk vegans to maintain a stricter practice than non-punk vegans.
