A field-defining collection of new voices on gender, feminism, and
geography. Feminist Geography Unbound is a call to action-to expand
imaginations and to read and travel more widely and carefully
through terrains that have been cast as niche, including Indigenous
and decolonial feminisms, Black geographies, and trans geographies.
The original essays in this collection center three themes to
unbind and enable different feminist futures: discomfort as a site
where differences generate both productive and immobilizing
frictions, gendered and racialized bodies as sites of political
struggle, and the embodied work of building the future. Drawing on
diverse theoretical backgrounds and a range of field sites,
contributors consider how race, gender, citizenship, and class
often determine who feels comfort and who is tasked with producing
it. They work through bodies as terrains of struggle that make
claims to space and enact political change, and they ask how these
politics prefigure the futures that we fear or desire. The book
also champions feminist geography as practice, through interviews
with feminist scholars and interludes in which feminist collectives
speak to their experience inhabiting and transforming academic
spaces. Feminist Geography Unbound is grounded in a feminist
geography that has long forced the discipline to grapple with the
production of difference, the unequal politics of knowledge
production, and gender's constitutive role in shaping social life.

The intersection of food and immigration in North America, from the
macroscale of national policy to the microscale of immigrants'
lived, daily foodways. This volume considers the intersection of
food and immigration at both the macroscale of national policy and
the microscale of immigrant foodways-the intimate, daily
performances of identity, culture, and community through food.
Taken together, the chapters-which range from an account of the
militarization of the agricultural borderlands of Yuma, Arizona, to
a case study of Food Policy Council in Vancouver,
Canada-demonstrate not only that we cannot talk about immigration
without talking about food but also that we cannot talk about food
without talking about immigration. The book investigates these
questions through the construct of the immigrant-food nexus, which
encompasses the constantly shifting relationships of food systems,
immigration policy, and immigrant foodways. The contributors, many
of whom are members of the immigrant communities they study, write
from a range of disciplines. Three guiding themes organize the
chapters: borders-cultural, physical, and geopolitical; labor,
connecting agribusiness and immigrant lived experience; and
identity narratives and politics, from "local food" to "dietary
acculturation." Contributors Julian Agyeman, Alison Hope Alkon,
