Sinopsis
This book unearths a food story buried deep
within the soil of American civil rights
history. Drawing on archival research,
interviews, and oral histories, Bobby J. Smith II
re-examines the Mississippi civil rights
movement as a period when activists expanded the
meaning of civil rights to address food as
integral to sociopolitical and economic
conditions. For decades, white economic and
political actors used food as a weapon against
Black sharecropping communities in the
Yazoo-Mississippi Delta, but members of these
communities collaborated with activists to
transform food into a tool of resistance. Today,
Black youth are building a food justice movement
in the Delta to continue this story, grappling
with inequalities that continue to shape their
lives. Drawing on multiple disciplines including
critical food studies, Black studies, history,
sociology, and southern studies, Smith makes
critical connections between civil rights
activism and present-day food justice activism
in Black communities, revealing how power
struggles Black food futures in which communities
have the full design, create, and sustain a
self-sufficient local food
over food empower them to envision autonomy and
capacity to imagine, system.
