520 Farmers markets are much more than places to buy produce.
According to advocates for sustainable food systems, they
are also places to "vote with your fork" for environmental
protection, vibrant communities, and strong local
economies. Farmers markets have become essential to the
movement for food-system reform and are a shining example
of a growing green economy where consumers can shop their
way to social change. Black, White, and Green brings new
energy to this topic by exploring dimensions of race and
class as they relate to farmers markets and the green
economy. With a focus on two Bay Area markets--one in the
primarily white neighborhood of North Berkeley, and the
other in largely black West Oakland--Alison Hope Alkon
investigates the possibilities for social and
environmental change embodied by farmers markets and the
green economy. Drawing on ethnographic and historical
sources, Alkon describes the meanings that farmers market
managers, vendors, and consumers attribute to the buying
and selling of local organic food, and the ways that those
meanings are raced and classed. She mobilizes this
research to understand how the green economy fosters
visions of social change that are compatible with economic
growth while marginalizing those that are not. Black,
White, and Green is one of the first books to carefully
theorize the green economy, to examine the racial dynamics
of food politics, and to approach issues of food access
from an environmental-justice perspective. In a practical
sense, Alkon offers an empathetic critique of a newly
popular strategy for social change, highlighting both its
strengths and limitations.
