Beschreibung
Food in a Just World examines the violence, social breakdown, and environmental consequences of our global system of food production, distribution, and consumption, where each step of the process is built on some form of exploitation. While highlighting the broken system's continuities from European colonialism, the authors argue that the seeds of resilience, resistance, and inclusive cultural resurgence are already being reflected in the day-to-day actions of communities around the world. Calling for urgent change, the book looks at how genuine democracy would give individuals and communities meaningful control over the decisions that impact their lives when seeking to secure humanely this most basic human need. Drawing on the perspectives of advocates, activists, workers, researchers, and policymakers, Harris and Gibbs explore the politics of food in the context of capitalist globalization and the climate crisis, uncovering the complexities in our relationships with one another, with other animals, and with the natural world.
Rezensionen
"While providing a rigorous critique of the global food system and its exploitative, violent, and ecologically destructive trajectory, this book takes the reader on a unique journey towards a hopeful future, one where humans can live in harmony with nature and other species."
"A radically new approach to uncovering and understanding the contemporary food crisis, from a deeply personal and deeply critical perspective. The authors show what food justice and a compassionate food system could look like, and how it is being constructed around the world."
"An up-to-the-minute introduction to issues of class, race, gender, and species in what we eat, as well as to how larger issues of economics and capitalism affect workers in the meat industry. Whether you eat meat or not, the book convincingly argues that these issues demand serious attention."
