Savoring Alternative Food: School gardens, healthy eating and visceral difference
ISBN: 9780415844239 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Advocates of the alternative food movement often insist that food is our common ground - that through the very basic human need to eat, we all become entwined in a network of mutual solidarity. In this challenging book, the author explores the contradictions and shortcomings of alternative food activism by examining specific endeavours of the movement through various lenses of social difference - including class, race, gender, and age. While the solidarity adage has inspired many, it is shown that this has also had the unfortunate effect of promoting sameness over difference, eschewing...

Regional patterns have developed from small-scale family farming to become an industrialized part of the...
