520    "In recent years, American shoppers have become more 
       conscious of their food choices and have increasingly 
       turned to CSAs, farmers' markets, organic foods in 
       supermarkets, and to joining and forming new food co-ops. 
       In fact, food co-ops have been a viable food source, as 
       well as a means of collective and democratic ownership, 
       for nearly 180 years. In Food Co-ops in America, Anne Meis
       Knupfer examines the economic and democratic ideals of 
       food cooperatives. She shows readers what the histories of
       food co-ops can tell us about our rights as consumers, how
       we can practice democracy and community, and how we might 
       do business differently. In the first history of food co-
       ops in the United States, Knupfer draws on newsletters, 
       correspondence, newspaper coverage, and board meeting 
       minutes, as well as visits to food co-ops around the 
       country, where she listened to managers, board members, 
       workers, and members. What possibilities for change--be 
       they economic, political, environmental or social--might 
       food co-ops offer to their members, communities, and the 
       globalized world? Food co-ops have long advocated for 
       consumer legislation, accurate product labeling, and 
       environmental protection. Food co-ops have many 
       constituents--members, workers, board members, local and 
       even global producers--making the process of collective 
       decision-making complex and often difficult. Even so, food
       co-ops offer us a viable alternative to corporate 
       capitalism. In recent years, committed co-ops have 
       expanded their social vision to improve access to healthy 
       food for all by helping to establish food co-ops in poorer
       communities."--Publisher's website.
