Veganism: Sex and Politics: Tales of Danger and Pleasure (Intellect, 2019)
Hamilton has produced a gorgeously written, careful and sensitive text. This book deftly weaves sophisticated contemporary debates together, giving readers a wonderful opportunity to gain insight into the complexities of pro animal politics and veganism.
- Dinesh Joseph Wadiwel, University of Sydney
In this timely and engaging volume, C. Lou Hamilton draws on her own experiences of the perils and pleasures of veganism to add insight to the contemporary politics of consumption. The result is an accessible introduction to the social justice literature on veganism and representations of veganism in popular culture and media.
- Chloë Taylor, University of Alberta
This book does what we need many more books to do: show what it looks like for a particular individual in a particular context to aspire to resist oppression in all its forms, while still living a life full of joy, individuality, and community.

Editing
Carrie Hamilton […] held the reins on a project full of must-haves that would have faltered in less capable hands.
- Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, “Acknowledgements”, #SayHerName: Black Women’s Stories of Police Violence and Public Silence (Haymarket, 2023)
Working with Carrie Hamilton was an incredible experience. Her work as an editor helped me to expand and to make accessible to the broader readership core concepts and histories of my book A Body of One’s Own: A Trans History of Argentina (University of Texas Press, 2024). The book was awarded the Sylvia Rivera Award from CLAGS as the best academic publication in trans studies of 2024-2025. I would highly recommend working with her.
- Dr. Patricio Simonetto
It has been a pleasure working with Carrie Hamilton. She is an extremely insightful, generous, fun and accurate editor. I especially appreciated our in-depth discussions about both the language and the content of my book. Her scholarly background gives her both the understanding and the compassion required to offer all-round support and expertise for academic writing. I warmly recommend her to any writer, and especially to scholars working on journal articles or monographs.

Writing
Sexual Revolutions in Cuba: Passion, Politics and Memory University of North Carolina Press (2012)
“Carrie Hamilton has written perhaps the most ground-breaking study of sexuality in Revolutionary Cuba. Many of its chapters should be required reading for anyone studying not just Cuba, but also the politics of sexuality in developing countries. This is a path-breaking book. It offers wonderful tips on how to combine oral histories with archival knowledge. It uses socio-anthropological evidence to document sexual and gender behaviours that both conform and defy existing theories.”
- Javier Corrales, European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies
