Beschreibung
"More Than Just Food highlights the powerful role that food can play in connecting communities, celebrating cultural histories, and establishing a more just society for all. Combining the rigor of a scholar and the passion of an activist, Garrett M. Broad offers both practical and theoretical contributions that will help the food justice movement continue to grow.—Bryant Terry, author, activist, and recipient of a 2015 James Beard Foundation Leadership Award
"Community-based organizations throughout the country are working to promote health, equity and sustainability through urban food activism. More Than Just Food offers an in-depth investigation of the potential for such activism to achieve social and racial justice in Los Angeles and beyond. As a scholar-activist, Broad offers insightful suggestions for future movement organizing, media storytelling, and policy advocacy."—Alison Hope Alkon, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of the Pacific
"More Than Just Food is an utterly compelling and intellectually satisfying discussion of the historical and contemporary relevance of food justice concerns to any serious conversation about racism, community organizing, and social justice more generally. Garrett M. Broad has written a powerful account of how and why the politics of healthy food access and activism can shed new and valuable light on questions of inclusion, fairness, and inequality in an interconnected and neoliberal world."—John L. Jackson, Jr., Richard Perry University Professor and Dean of the School of Social Policy and Practice at the University of Pennsylvania

Zusammenfassung
Focusing on the work of several food justice groups - including Community Services Unlimited, a South Los Angeles organization founded as the nonprofit arm of the Southern California Black Panther Party - this title explores the possibilities and limitations of the community-based approach, and more.
Zusatztext
"Broad’s rich, complex ethnography provides an antidote to simplified research in to the work of non-profit food organisations. More than Just Food provides much insight into grassroots, community led food movements adapting to their situated circumstances."
