Review Quotes:
"This is the geography textbook for the class I always wished I'd taken, progressing from introductory concepts to sophisticated analysis over the arc of a semester. With terrific suggestions for supplementary reading, watching, and discussion, Amy Trauger's Geographies of Food and Power is set to become a classic foundation for generations of geographers."
Raj Patel, Research Professor, Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin, USA.
"Geographies of Food and Power makes a critical contribution to ongoing debates about the historical and contemporary structures of our food system along with the social and environmental implications. Using an intersectional lens, Trauger introduces several concepts and theoretical perspectives to reveal challenges and point to promising pathways forward. This is an essential text for students of geography and food studies along with anyone interested in just and sustainable food futures."
