"""One of the major contributions of Feminist Food Studies is that it explores intersectionality through refined angles at both the theoretical and the empirical levels. In a clear and accessible manner, every chapter of the book experiments with moving intersectionality to 'unexplored places.' The result is a fascinating and enriching journey into feminist scholarship and its multiple connections with food."" -Dr. Carla Guerr�n Montero, University of Delaware ""Feminist Food Studies assembles new scholarship on food and feminism. The collection takes up an intersectional lens that is well-defined in the introductory chapters for new readers. The authors pay homage to the anti-colonial and social justice roots of feminist food studies as a field, a commitment that is enacted and built upon in every chapter. Established scholars and new readers alike will find ideas to forage for that nourishes a critical feminist consciousness about food studies."" -Dr. Jennifer L. Johnson, Thorneloe University at Laurentian"
