But how can we create a world where everyone has enough? What does it mean to truly nourish ourselves and our communities?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eGather\u003c\/em\u003e, anthropologist Ashanté M. Reese argues for a vibrant new vision of food justice that places Black communities at the center and offers us a visionary, delicious path forward. Reese reveals that to truly create equity in our food systems, we must embrace the abundance that already exists around us--and recognize that the social body is as important as our individual health\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eGather\u003c\/em\u003e presents rich, on-the-ground stories of gathering around food in four spaces--gardens, family reunions, repasts, and protests. Blending rich storytelling with analysis, these chapters argue for the political power of food and invite us to learn from the tactics Black communities have long used to create sustainable, systemic change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are no simple solutions to the problems of acute need.
