Across the globe, people are challenging the agro-industrial food
system and its exploitation of people and resources, reduction of
local food varieties, and negative health consequences. In this
collection leading international anthropologists explore food
activism across the globe to show how people speak to, negotiate,
or cope with power through food. Who are the actors of food
activism and what forms of agency do they enact? What kinds of
economy, exchanges, and market relations do they practice and
promote? How are they organized and what are their scales of
political action and power relations? Each chapter explores why and
how people choose food as a means of forging social and economic
justice, covering diverse forms of food activism from individual
acts by consumers or producers to organized social groups or
movements. The case studies embrace a wide geographical spectrum
including Cuba, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Mexico, Italy, Canada, France,
Colombia, Japan, and the USA. This is the first book to examine
food activism in diverse local, national, and transnational
settings, making it essential reading for students and scholars in
anthropology and other fields interested in food, economy, politics
and social change.
