*CFP: Food Sovereignty: Core Concepts and Interdisciplinary Perspectives*
We invite abstract submissions for a new interdisciplinary edited volume on
food sovereignty.
Food sovereignty is a vibrant and growing social movement for the rights of
local peoples to control their food systems and to resist harms associated
with agricultural globalization. Indeed, the world’s largest social
movement – La Vía Campesina – brings together two hundred million farmers,
fishers, indigenous persons, and landless workers to fight for food
sovereignty. This volume aims to identify the core components of food
sovereignty, as understood by the diverse groups who have embraced that
ideal. In particular, it explores the various purposes to which this
institutional account of food justice has been put, and it identifies
relationships between food sovereignty and other commitments, including
indigenous rights, gender justice, cultural rights, locavorism, free
markets, consumerism, and environmental justice. This volume also addresses
skeptical worries about the functional plausibility of food sovereignty and
its potential for cooptation and dilution by reactionary forces.
We seek contributions from scholars working in a wide array of disciplines,
including philosophy, sociology, geography, anthropology, women and gender
studies, political science, and indigenous studies. This sort of diversity
is indicative of the interdisciplinary significance of food sovereignty.
If you are interested in publishing in this volume, please submit a
500-word abstract to Jill Dieterle ([log in to unmask]) by July 1, 2017.
Full papers will be due by June 1, 2018.
