It calls on the food-focused to broaden and deepen their commitment to the struggle against structural inequalities both within \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e beyond the food system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSbicca 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua Sbicca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517904013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517904012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Joshua Sbicca","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989965734143,"sku":"9781517904012","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7902d7dd-076d-4cb0-857a-ea132a61481d.jpg?v=1683302324","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/food-justice-now-joshua-sbicca-9781517904012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
