Reviews

No other collection so deeply and widely covers the international and transnational contexts of school food provision, especially not as this one does in considering the social and political work done by school meals. This book moves the field dramatically forward in understanding what we mean when we talk about social justice in school food.The contributors point out an impressively comprehensive array of dynamics that fall under the umbrella of social justice, including ecological sustainability, decolonization, hunger and food insecurity, gender bias, and so much more. This tremendous volume's cataloging of social justice aspects both underscores the importance of context in national school food provision and-perhaps more importantly-should inspire researchers to go back and make sure they haven't missed those dynamics at work in their own locales. -Marcus Weaver-Hightower Professor, Foundations of Education, Virginia Tech
