Additionally, the book explores how revolutionary culture, principles, and organization of American Indigenous, diasporan Africans, anarchist Mexicans and others have been adopted, adapted, or rejected in our food movement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this autoethnography of the food movement, McFarland argues that at our best we work to establish a new society like that theorized and enacted by Indigenous and Black anarchists. However, the forces of Wetiko (colonialism, capitalism, heteropatriarchy, and white supremacy) make the work of BIPOC food warriors difficult. Wetiko's conceptual categories--including race, gender, sexuality, and citizenship--influence our worldviews and affect our behaviors. These limitations and our responses to them are captured in the dialogues and chapters of \u003ci\u003eFood Autonomy in Chicago\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pancho McFarland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820369952","brand":"University of Georgia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43981706297481,"sku":"9780820369952","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_0c316c36-47bc-489e-b795-0f89f4892444.jpg?v=1747121865","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/food-autonomy-in-chicago-9780820369952","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
