Yet despite their best intentions, they often perpetuate food access inequalities and racial stereotypes. Hanna Garth shows how the movement has been affected by misconceptions and assumptions about residents, as well as by unclear definitions of justice and what it means to be healthy. Focusing on broad structures and microlevel processes, Garth reveals how power dynamics shape social justice movements in particular ways.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on twelve years of ethnographic research, Garth examines what motivates people from more affluent, majority-white areas of the city to intervene in South Central Los Angeles. She argues that the concepts of \"food justice\" and \"healthy food\" operate as racially coded language, reinforcing the idea that health problems in low-income Black and Brown communities can be solved through individual behavior rather than structural change. \u003ci\u003eFood Justice Undone\u003c\/i\u003e explores the stakes of social justice and the possibility of multiracial coalitions working toward a better future.","brand":"Hanna Garth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42969624739958,"sku":"9780520396692","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_e552f651-a53a-44ef-9095-c5a22f1925f3.jpg?v=1771709392","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/food-justice-undone-9780520396692","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
