It focuses on the mobilisation of urban food producers as a powerful response to highly exclusionary dynamics in the agri-food system including insufficient food access and disastrous land dispossessions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume particularly aims to fill the gap in the current literature by engaging with food sovereignty discourses and movements in urban areas. Related activism of urban food producers in the Global South remains underrepresented in practice and in literature. Therefore, this book engages with the lived realities of an urban agriculture initiative in George, South Africa. Building on theoretical notions of the \"right to the city\" and \"everyday forms of resistance\", the book illuminates how deprived food producers expose inequalities and propose alternatives. The findings of in-depth empirical research reveal that dwellers perceive farming as a mean to overcome historical segregation, high food prices, and unhealthy nutrition. Hence, they breathe life into food sovereignty in practice and suggest further alliances beyond the city.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to scholars and students of alternative food politics, agrarian transformation, and food movements as well as rural-urban intersections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Siebert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032022698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032022697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2023","brand":"Anne Siebert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075477827839,"sku":"9781032022697","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0120d163-54b9-4f80-b3c6-67a0cde054f2.jpg?v=1685459657","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/food-sovereignty-and-urban-agriculture-anne-siebert-9781032022697","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
