Return and recovery is very much at the heart of this volume. Indigenous food sovereignty argues for rooted and collective continuance. More than about development and conservation - or resilience even - it is about sacredness and intimacy, health and sovereignty, food and identity; and it comes from a place deep within."" - Virginia D. Nazarea, author of Heirloom Seeds and Their Keepers: Marginality and Memory in the Conservation of Biological Diversity ""The collective wisdom of Turtle Island's indigenous peoples offered in Indigenous Food Sovereignty charts a course for decolonization and liberation - and a vision for a better food system and a just society."" - Eric Holt-Giménez, author of A Foodie's Guide to Capitalism ""This thoughtfully curated collection of essays gives food scholars a vital window on the gorgeous and fierce resilience of indigenous food systems and the activists who work to preserve them against steep odds. It will shape the way we think about indigenous food systems for years to come."" - Amy Trauger, author of We Want to Live: Making Political Space for Food Sovereignty "" Indigenous Food Sovereignty in the United States is a detailed text that effectively conveys hope for the future of Indigenous communities while criticizing colonial practices emphasizing that there are serious repercussions for abandoning tradition, and there is beneficial power in reclaiming Indigenous authority over food and environmental practices.
