Reviews
The book will be of interest to geographers engaged in debates on diverse economies, as well as those pursuing work on food security, food sovereignty, and/or the politics of food. (The Canadian Geographer/Le Geographe Canadien, 25 October 2015)
The book will be of interest to geographers engaged in debates on diverse economies, as well as those pursuing work on food security, food sovereignty, and/or the politics of food. (The Canadian Geographer/Le Geographe Canadien, 25 October 2015) If I had to evaluate Everyday moral economies in just two words, these would most probably be 'useful' and 'balanced'. Useful because to my knowledge it is the most comprehensive treatment on the theme of food consumption and production in Cuba, providing valuable information on the theme from both historical and contemporary perspectives. Balanced because, although it deals with an utterly political side of Cuba and the Revolution, it does not hastily take sides between a (neo)liberal or a socialist mode of production and political organization.
