On the margins of the dominant system, Stanton found herself reckoning with its deep racial and class inequities, and learning that making real change requires a fierce commitment to community and a willingness to change herself as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Part memoir and part history lesson, \u003ci\u003eFood Margins\u003c\/i\u003e traces the tangled economic and political histories of the plantation, the factory, and the supermarket through the life of one New England town. Stanton tells a complex and compelling story of a rural community imagining and creating a viable alternative to the mainstream in a time of increasingly urgent need to build a more socially and ecologically just food system. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cathy Stanton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Massachusetts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.05w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625348050","brand":"University of Massachusetts Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42714090274953,"sku":"9781625348050","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_4d25b185-b019-4812-8c9e-0dfa201600c5.jpg?v=1719634347","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/food-margins-lessons-from-an-unlikely-grocer-9781625348050","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
