Ashanté M Reese: Gather, Gebunden

Klappentext

How can we create a world where everyone has enough? We can start by focusing less on lack and more on abundance. In Gather , anthropologist Ashanté M. Reese argues for a new vision of food justice that centres the resilience of Black communities and argues that community nourishment deserves as much consideration as individual health. Highlighting four spaces of gathering-gardens, family reunions, repasts and protests-Reese offers rich, on-the-ground studies of the places and people who make up the food justice movement. From Black church networks and community farms to student protests, these studies illuminate ways we can challenge structures of power and nourish ourselves, body and soul. In a world of social isolation and unequal food systems, Gather offers a compelling argument for the beauty and political power of togetherness.
