An exciting collaboration between Otter-Barry Books and Pop Up
Projects, introducing new voices in poetry for 10-14 years old.
Rising Stars, sponsored by Arts Council England's Grant for the
Arts programme, is a poetry anthology showcasing the work of five
debut poets from diverse backgrounds, all aged 25 and under. Black
and white illustrations are by final year students from Birmingham
City University's illustration course. Joelle Taylor, founder and
Artistic Director of SLAMbasadors UK, is acting as a consultant to
the project.
Food provides a particularly exciting and grounded research site
for understanding the mechanisms governing global transactions in
the 21st century. While food is intimately and fundamentally
related to ecological and human well-being, food products now
travel far flung trade routes to reach us. International trade in
food has tripled in value and quadrupled in volume since 1960 and
tracing the production, movement, transformation, and consumption
of food necessitates research that situates localities within
global networks and facilitates our capacity to "see the trees and
the forest" by zooming from the global to the local and back to the
global. Our need for food is a constant; how we acquire food is a
variable; and the production, commercialization, and consumption of
food therefore offer an invaluable window onto the globalization of
the world we inhabit. Food provides an ideal site for answering the
fundamental questions of governance of central concern to
globalization debates. This book presents recent and
interdisciplinary scholarship about the variety of mechanisms
governing global food systems and their impacts on human and
environmental well-being This book was previously published as a
special issue of Globalizations
