Taken together, the chapters--which range from an account of the militarization of the agricultural borderlands of Yuma, Arizona, to a case study of Food Policy Council in Vancouver, Canada--demonstrate not only that we cannot talk about immigration without talking about food but also that we cannot talk about food without talking about immigration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book investigates these questions through the construct of the \u003ci\u003eimmigrant-food nexus\u003c\/i\u003e, which encompasses the constantly shifting relationships of food systems, immigration policy, and immigrant foodways. The contributors, many of whom are members of the immigrant communities they study, write from a range of disciplines. Three guiding themes organize the chapters: borders--cultural, physical, and geopolitical; labor, connecting agribusiness and immigrant lived experience; and identity narratives and politics, from \"local food\" to \"dietary acculturation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulian Agyeman, Alison Hope Alkon, FernandoJ.
