Food Justice Now! intersects various subfields of sociology and could be accessible to a variety of courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels of course work. In its entirety, this book would be appropriate for the sociology of food and consumption and for environmental sociology as well as a supplemental book for a course in social movements and an introductory sociology course. Specifically, for an introductory course, the topical order of Food Justice Now! would be a fun and unique pairing with most introductory sociology textbooks and how introductory topics are often organized. For example, there is a topic overlap with dialectics covered with sociological theory and additional themes of social control, stratification, race, immigration, health, and social movements. Likewise, specific chapters would be pertinent readings in upper-level and graduate courses. Chapter 3, “Taking Back the Economy: Fair Labor Relations and Food Worker Advocacy,” would make for an excellent pairing with any course focused on the political economy, and chapter 4, “Immigration Food Fights: Challenging Borders and Bridging Social Boundaries,” would complement immigration and global economy courses. The appendix details Sbicca’s ethnographic, case study, and historical comparative methodologies, which are a must-read for qualitative research method courses. I suggest including “Introduction: Food as Social Justice Politics” if you plan on isolated chapter readings for courses. This book is paired with an author-led book discussion guide via the University of Minnesota Press that would be a versatile accompaniment with any-level course (Sbicca 2018). The discussion guide is in a blog format, written by author Joshua Sbicca, and continues Food Justice Now! to include the policy and public implications of the 2018 Farm Bill. This discussion guide would be a great resource for instructors to extend classroom conversation to current food system issues, regulations, and policy. Additionally, Sbicca references the food justice and policy blog Civil Eats (2019), which would also expand the discussion and opportunity for student engagement. For undergraduate courses, I would suggest instructors explore hunger banquets (Harris, Harris, and Fondren 2015) as a possible classroom activity to start a dialogue on foodrelated inequalities. Food Justice Now! provides depth to an important conversation on social justice that is needed by educators, consumers, and policymakers. The book itself is versatile with a clear thesis and can appeal to a wide range of audiences, including various disciplines and academic levels. Instructors should note the course level, as some academic language might feel too advanced for introductory courses, and direction of their class, as this book is varied in institutional structure although having an overarching theme of food justice as a social movement. One limitation is that Sbicca’s research is central only to California and mostly urban institutions. Although rural communities are mentioned in the conclusion, and subsequently with farmlands, I would argue that rural spaces have a much larger place in the food justice movement. To adjust for this in the classroom, I suggest using Tigges and Quark’s (2010) TRAILS assignment “Gender and Work in Rural America.” It is an intersectional approach to rurality and contains a topic list for students that includes farmers, migrant workers, local food, and sustainable agriculture. Food Justice Now! presents the beginning of radicalizing food justice as a collaborative and inclusive social movement and would be a worthwhile addition in the classroom.

书评:性、伦理和年轻人

食物正义吧!与社会学的各个子领域相交,可以在本科和研究生的课程工作中学习各种课程。总的来说,这本书适用于食品和消费社会学、环境社会学以及社会运动课程和介绍性社会学课程的补充书籍。具体来说,对于入门课程,Food Justice Now!与大多数介绍性社会学教科书以及介绍性主题通常是如何组织的,这将是一个有趣且独特的配对。例如,有一个主题与社会学理论和社会控制、分层、种族、移民、健康和社会运动等其他主题的辩证法重叠。同样地,特定章节将是高级课程和研究生课程的相关阅读材料。第 3 章“夺回经济:公平劳动关系和食品工人倡导”将与任何专注于政治经济学的课程完美搭配,第 4 章“移民食品斗争:挑战边界和弥合社会边界”将补充移民和全球经济课程。附录详细介绍了 Sbicca 的民族志、案例研究和历史比较方法,这些是定性研究方法课程的必读内容。如果您计划在课程中单独阅读章节,我建议包括“介绍:食品作为社会正义政治”。这本书与明尼苏达大学出版社出版的由作者主导的书籍讨论指南配对,这将是任何级别课程的多功能伴奏(Sbicca 2018)。讨论指南采用博客格式,由作者 Joshua Sbicca 撰写,并继续 Food Justice Now!包括 2018 年农业法案的政策和公共影响。本讨论指南将是教师将课堂对话扩展到当前食品系统问题、法规和政策的重要资源。此外,Sbicca 引用了食品正义和政策博客 Civil Eats(2019 年),这也将扩大学生参与的讨论和机会。对于本科课程,我建议教师探索饥饿宴会(哈里斯、哈里斯、和 Fondren 2015)作为一项可能的课堂活动,以开始就与食品有关的不平等进行对话。食物正义吧!为教育者、消费者和政策制定者所需要的关于社会正义的重要对话提供深度。这本书本身用途广泛,论文清晰,可以吸引广泛的读者,包括各个学科和学术水平。教师应注意课程级别,因为某些学术语言对于介绍性课程和课程方向可能会感觉太高级,因为这本书的制度结构各不相同,尽管将食品正义作为一项社会运动的总体主题。一个限制是 Sbicca 的研究仅对加利福尼亚和大部分城市机构具有核心意义。虽然在结论中提到了农村社区,随后提到了农田,我认为农村空间在食品正义运动中占有更大的地位。为了在课堂上对此进行调整,我建议使用 Tigges 和 Quark (2010) 的 TRAILS 作业“美国农村的性别与工作”。它是一种针对农村的交叉方法,包含一个面向学生的主题列表,其中包括农民、农民工、当地食品和可持续农业。食物正义吧!将食品正义激进化作为一项协作性和包容性的社会运动的开端,并将成为课堂上的一个有价值的补充。” 这是一种针对农村的交叉方法,包含面向学生的主题列表,其中包括农民、农民工、当地食品和可持续农业。食物正义吧!将食品正义激进化作为一项协作性和包容性的社会运动的开端,并将成为课堂上的一个有价值的补充。” 这是一种针对农村的交叉方法,包含面向学生的主题列表,其中包括农民、农民工、当地食品和可持续农业。食物正义吧!将食品正义激进化作为一项协作性和包容性的社会运动的开端,并将成为课堂上的一个有价值的补充。
