SUMMARY:North Stars of Emancipation: Navigating Movements and Institutions to Change Food Systems
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Antonio Roman-Alcalá has been participating in food and farming movements in California for over two decades. He’s founded urban farms\, taught organic horticulture\, and made documentary films about why food systems continue to be unsustainable.  \nMore recently\, he’s turned towards participatory\, movement-based research to develop an understanding of what “emancipation” might mean for those who’ve long faced the brunt of food systems injustices\, especially in a context of rising right wing\, racist politics at the national level. \nThe result is North Stars of Emancipation: California’s Diverse Food and Farming Movements in Times of Racial Reckoning\, Antonio’s book now out on MIT Press. You can find info on the book here. \nThe book describes a shift in recent decades of US food movement politics – driven by the greater inclusion and influence of people of color – towards more radical political ideals of anti-capitalism and anti-colonialism\, and skepticism of the state as a tool for emancipation. North Stars tackles questions of social movement convergence amidst the recent right wing rise\, and offers strategic and scholarly lessons based on decades of experience and analysis. \nCome join Antonio in conversation with other thinkers and doers\, about organizing for food systems transformation\, fraught times of political regression\, reckoning with legacies of racism\, and holding onto radical visions for a world otherwise. \nFeaturing: \nLeonard Diggs\, Long time Farmer and Educator\nMireya Gomez-Contreras\, Esperanza Farms\, Community Farm in Watsonville\nMaywa Montenegro de Wit\, Critical agrarian studies scholar at UCSC
