Food Justice Undone takes a critical look at the food justice movement, exposing how good intentions often fall short in the face of structural racism, neoliberal frameworks, and community disconnection. Drawing on grounded research and firsthand accounts, the book reveals the gaps between advocacy and lived experience, especially for Black and brown communities. Rather than offering quick fixes, it invites a deeper reckoning with what food justice really requires—and who it should center. This is a powerful call to rebuild the movement with equity, accountability, and collective care at its core.

This collection challenges the white-centric framing of food studies and affirms Black life, history, and the fight for sustenance on Black terms.
