Eat this book. If you re lucky enough to find it in the trash, dig it out and bite in. It s sociologically fresh and environmentally nutritious. Alex V. Barnard writes crisply and invitingly, and his analysis of the fetishism of waste is novel and helpful. This is ethnography as it is meant to be: going through the trash and thrash of everyday life and uncovering analytic treasures free to be had, if we only stop to look. Michael Bell, University of Wisconsin-Madison In Freegans, Alex V. Barnard examines how this group of activists aims to change the way we live on this world, one overripe tomato at a time. Tristram Stuart, author of Waste: Uncovering the Global Food Scandal
