"Ashanté M Reese, Black Food Geographies. This is my nomination for what should be included in the canon for food studies. In this book, Reese masterfully demonstrates the ways in which anti-Blackness and white supremacy shape access to food and inaccess to food. Very helpfully, talks about geographies of self-reliance and the ways in which people are not determined necessarily by their spatial reality, but ways in which they kind of interact with that reality in ways that inform hope that we can more towards more just and more equitable food systems. Black Food Geographies, Ashanté M Reese"
Michael Classens shares his nomination for what should be included in the food studies canon. What works do you include?

Review of Eating Like a Mennonite
Aqeel Ihsan
Marlene Epp's Eating Like a Mennonite: Food and Community Across Borders is a compelling study of how food mediates cultural, religious, and communal identities. Drawing from personal reflection, Epp reorients the reader's attention from "what" Mennonites ate to what food has meant for them throughout their historically migratory and diverse religious tradition.
