ABSTRACT

In recent years, communities invested in transformative food politics in the United States have seen the framework food justice become widely accepted as a core framework for anti-racist practice. Critical food scholars often recognize food justice in practices that: underwrite coalitions and solidarities across difference, tend to collective and historical trauma, and expand land-based political imaginations. This paper argues that abolitionist thought can position these elements within in a relational, historical framework that enables organizers to name the underlying racial capitalist logics of food apartheid—including the destruction of Black, Indigenous, and poor peoples’ senses of place, and white supremacy culture’s dehumanization of people who fall outside the norms of liberal individualism—in order build strategic alliances with those who struggle against other manifestations of the same logics, including mass incarceration. Citing work at the intersection of food and carceral justice in New York’s Hudson Valley, this paper humbly affirms what abolitionist organizers already know: that life is possible and is already flourishing well outside of racial capitalism and settler colonialism’s death dealing logics. Abolitionist thought may be an essential tool for strengthening our relationships to and analyses of food and food justice, such that we may organize more effectively to end food apartheid.

废奴主义食品正义:植根于地方和生活的变革理论

摘要

近年来,在美国投资于变革性食品政治的社区已经看到了食品正义框架被广泛接受为反种族主义实践的核心框架。批判性食品学者经常在以下实践中认识到食品正义:支持跨越差异的联盟和团结,倾向于集体和历史创伤,并扩大基于土地的政治想象力。本文认为,废奴主义思想可以将这些元素置于一个相关的历史框架中,使组织者能够命名食品种族隔离的潜在种族资本主义逻辑——包括破坏黑人、土著和穷人的地方感以及白人至上主义文化对那些不属于自由个人主义规范的人的非人性化——为了与那些与同样逻辑的其他表现作斗争的人建立战略联盟,包括大规模监禁。本文引用纽约哈德逊河谷食品和监狱司法交叉点的工作,谦虚地肯定了废奴主义组织者已经知道的事情:在种族资本主义和定居者殖民主义的死亡交易逻辑之外,生活是可能的并且已经蓬勃发展。废奴主义思想可能是加强我们与食品和食品正义的关系和分析的重要工具,这样我们就可以更有效地组织起来结束食品种族隔离。
