While interest in the relations of power and identity in food
explodes, a hesitancy remains about calling these racial. What
difference does race make in the fields where food is grown, the
places it is sold and the manner in which it is eaten? How do we
understand farming and provisioning, tasting and picking, eating
and being eaten, hunger and gardening better by paying attention to
race? This collection argues there is an unacknowledged racial
dimension to the production and consumption of food under
globalization. Building on case studies from across the world, it
advances the conceptualization of race by emphasizing embodiment,
circulation and materiality, while adding to food advocacy an
antiracist perspective it often lacks. Within the three
socio-physical spatialities of food - fields, bodies and markets -
the collection reveals how race and food are intricately linked. An
international and multidisciplinary team of scholars complements
each other to shed light on how human groups become entrenched in
myriad hierarchies through food, at scales from the dining room and
market stall to the slave trade and empire. Following foodways as
they constitute racial formations in often surprising ways, the
chapters achieve a novel approach to the process of race as one
that cannot be reduced to biology, culture or capitalism.
Throughout the twentieth century, psychoanalysis and feminism were
the practico-intellectual fields most systematic and subversive in
demonstrating that humanity is sexually fissured. More recently,
further advances in the philosophy of difference and renewed
emphases on embodiment, materiality and life offer possibilities
for attending to dimensions of gender and sexuality that were
previously underdeveloped. This collection examines these
possibilities insofar as they can either deepen or displace the
traditional centrality of psychoanalysis in matters sexual. The
authors come from a wide range of backgrounds and defend their
approaches to the problem of sexual difference in a variety of
idioms, drawing on key thinkers such as Lacan, Irigaray, Deleuze,
Foucault and Badiou. It is rare to come across these thinkers
together; but sex is too crucial a site for critical thought not to
mobilize every conceptual power available. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the journal Angelaki: The Journal
of the Theoretical Humanities.

Deleuze's fondness for geography has long been recognised as
central to his thought. This is the first book to introduce
researchers to the breadth of his engagements with space, place and
movement. Focusing on pressing global issues such as urbanization,
war, migration, and climate change, Arun Saldanha presents a
detailed Deleuzian rejoinder to a number of theoretical and
political questions about globalization in a variety of
disciplines. This systematic overview of moments in Deleuze's
corpus where space is implicitly or explicitly theorized shows why
he can be called the twentieth century's most interesting thinker
of space. Anyone with an interest in refining such concepts as
territory, assemblage, body, event and Anthropocene will learn much
from the "geophilosophy" which Deleuze and Guattari proposed for
our critical times.

Deleuze and Guattari had extremely original things to say about
race, and the politics of phenotype and origin is never far from
any engaged consideration of how the world works. In these 16
essays, an international and multidisciplinary team of scholars
inaugurates the Deleuzian study of race through a wide-ranging and
evocative array of case studies.
