Retail Inequality Reframing the Food Desert
Debate
Sinopsis
Retail Inequality examines the failure of recent
efforts to improve Americans' diets by increasing
access to healthy food. Based on exhaustive
research, this book by Kenneth H. Kolb documents
the struggles of two Black neighborhoods in
Greenville, South Carolina. For decades,
outsiders ignored residents' complaints about the
unsavory retail options on their side of
town8212unil the well-intentioned but flawed
food desert concept took hold in popular
discourse. Soon after, new allies arrived to
help, believing that grocery stores and
healthier options were the key to better health.
These efforts, however, did not change
neighborhood residents' food consumption
practices. Retail Inequality explains why and
also outlines the history of deindustrialization,
urban public policy, and racism that are the
cause of unequal access to food today. Kolb
identifies retail inequality as the crucial
concept to understanding today8217sdebates
over gentrification and community development. As
this book makes clear, the battle over food
deserts was never about food8212itwas about
equality.
