Through various international case studies presented by both
practitioners and scholars, Environmental Justice in the
Anthropocene explores how an environmental justice approach is
necessary for reflections on inequality in the Anthropocene and for
forging societal transitions toward a more just and sustainable
future. Environmental justice is a central component of
sustainability politics during the Anthropocene - the current
geological age in which human activity is the dominant influence on
climate and the environment. Every aspect of sustainability
politics requires a close analysis of equity implications,
including problematizing the notion that humans as a collective are
equally responsible for ushering in this new epoch. Environmental
justice provides us with the tools to critically investigate the
drivers and characteristics of this era and the debates over the
inequitable outcomes of the Anthropocene for historically
marginalized peoples. The contributors to this volume focus on a
critical approach to power and issues of environmental injustice
across time, space, and context, drawing from twelve national
contexts: Austria, Bangladesh, Chile, China, India, Nicaragua,
Hungary, Mexico, Brazil, Sweden, Tanzania, and the United States.
Beyond highlighting injustices, the volume highlights
forward-facing efforts at building just transitions, with a goal of
identifying practical steps to connect theory and movement and
envision an environmentally and ecologically just future. This
interdisciplinary work will be of great interest to students,
scholars, and practitioners focused on conservation, environmental
politics and governance, environmental and earth sciences,
environmental sociology, environment and planning, environmental
justice, and global sustainability and governance. It will also be
of interest to social and environmental justice advocates and
activists.

Honorable Mention, 2021 Edited Collection Book Award, given by the
Association for the Study of Food and Society How gentrification
uproots the urban food landscape, and what activists are doing to
resist it From hipster coffee shops to upscale restaurants, a
bustling local food scene is perhaps the most commonly recognized
harbinger of gentrification. A Recipe for Gentrification explores
this widespread phenomenon, showing the ways in which food and
gentrification are deeply-and, at times,
controversially-intertwined. Contributors provide an inside look at
gentrification in different cities, from major hubs like New York
and Los Angeles to smaller cities like Cleveland and Durham. They
examine a wide range of food enterprises-including grocery stores,
restaurants, community gardens, and farmers' markets-to provide
up-to-date perspectives on why gentrification takes place, and how
communities use food to push back against displacement. Ultimately,
they unpack the consequences for vulnerable people and
neighborhoods. A Recipe for Gentrification highlights how the
everyday practices of growing, purchasing and eating food reflect
the rapid-and contentious-changes taking place in American cities
in the twenty-first century.
A rallying cry to link the food justice movement to broader social
justice debates The United States is a nation of foodies and food
activists, many of them progressives, and yet their overwhelming
concern for what they consume often hinders their engagement with
social justice more broadly. Food Justice Now! charts a path from
food activism to social justice activism that integrates the two.
It calls on the food-focused to broaden and deepen their commitment
to the struggle against structural inequalities both within and
beyond the food system. In an engrossing, historically grounded,
and ethnographically rich narrative, Joshua Sbicca argues that food
justice is more than just a myopic focus on food, allowing scholars
and activists alike to investigate the causes behind inequities and
evaluate and implement political strategies to overcome them.
Focusing on carceral, labor, and immigration crises, Sbicca tells
the stories of three California-based food movement organizations,
showing that when activists use food to confront neoliberal
capitalism and institutional racism, they can creatively expand how
to practice and achieve food justice. Sbicca sets his central
argument in opposition to apolitical and individual solutions,
discussing national food movement campaigns and the need for
economically and racially just food policies-a matter of vital
public concern with deep implications for building collective power
across a diversity of interests.
