Land, food, and freedom: black farmers, agriculture, and resistance -- Intellectual traditions in black agriculture: Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, and W. E. B. Du Bois -- Collective agency and community resilience in action -- A pig and a garden: Fannie Lou Hamer's Freedom Farms Cooperative -- Bypass the middlemen and feed the community: North Bolivar County Farmers Cooperative -- Agricultural self-determination on a regional scale: the Federation of Southern Cooperatives -- Drawing on the past toward a food sovereign future: the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network -- Black farmers and black land matter.
"Expands the historical narrative of the black freedom struggle to embrace the work, roles, and contributions of southern black farmers and the organizations they formed. Whereas existing scholarship generally views agriculture as a site of oppression and exploitation of black people, this book reveals agriculture as a site of resistance and provides a historical foundation that adds meaning and context to current conversations around the resurgence of food justice/sovereignty movements in urban spaces like Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, New York City, and New Orleans"-- Provided by publisher.
