This open access book takes the upheaval of the global COVID-19
pandemic as a springboard from which to interrogate a larger set of
structural, environmental and political fault lines running through
the global food system. In a context in which disruptions to the
production, distribution, and consumption of food are figured as
exceptions to the smooth, just-in-time efficiencies of global
supply chains, these essays reveal the global food system as one
that is inherently disruptive of human lives and flourishing, and
of relationships between people, places, and environments. The
pandemic thus represents a particular, acute moment of disruption,
offering a lens on a deeper, longer set of systemic processes, and
shining new light on transformational possibilities.
In See How We Roll Melinda Hinkson follows the experiences of
Nungarrayi, a Warlpiri woman from the Central Australian desert, as
she struggles to establish a new life for herself in the city of
Adelaide. Banished from her hometown, Nungarrayi energetically
navigates promises of transformation as well as sedimented
racialized expectations on the urban streets. Drawing on a
decades-long friendship, Hinkson explores these circumstances
through Nungarrayi's relationships: those between her country and
kin that sustain and confound life beyond the desert, those that
regulate her marginalized citizenship, and the new friendships
called out by displacement and metropolitan life. An intimate
ethnography, See How We Roll provides great insight into the
enduring violence of the settler colonial state while illuminating
the efforts of Indigenous people to create lives of dignity and
shared purpose in the face of turbulence, grief, and tightening
governmental controls.
