Food Regimes and Food Movements: the historical basis for transformation?

October 4, 5:00 p.m.
442 Stephens Hall, UC Berkeley
How do regimes and movements co-evolve from imperial, colonial and slave-based societies and what are the forms of resistance and the future challenges of the agrarian and agrofoods transition? This talk, led by Eric Holt-Gimenez, the Executive Director of Food First, will analyze the capitalist roots of racism, classism and sexism in the current food regime and the histories of resistance in the United States and abroad.
