Mujeres de Maiz en Movimiento

Spiritual Artivism, Healing Justice, and Feminist Praxis

The University of Arizona Press

Mujeres de Maiz (MdM) is an L.A.-based Indigenous Xicana–led spiritual artist-activist organization and movement by and for women and feminists of color. The contributors to this edited volume weave together their stories to collectively document MdM’s twenty-five-year herstory and its larger sociopolitical context. Intergenerational contributors include emerging and professional writers, scholars, visual and performance artists, and community organizers. They trace MdM’s genealogy, providing critical insight into emerging definitions of Xicanisma and contemporary grassroots feminist praxis.

Barons

Money, Power, and the Corruption of America's Food Industry

Island Press

Kirkus Reviews "Best Indie Books of the Year"

“In this eye-opening debut study, Frerick, an agricultural policy fellow at Yale University, reveals the ill-gained stranglehold that a handful of companies have on America’s food economy…It’s a disquieting critique of private monopolization of public necessities.” 
- Publishers Weekly, starred

Barons is the story of seven titans of the food industry, their rise to power, and the consequences for workers, eaters, and democracy itself. Readers will meet a secretive German family that took over the global coffee industry in less than a decade, relying on wealth traced back to the Nazis to gobble up countless independent roasters. They will visit the Disneyland of agriculture, where school children ride trams through mechanized warehouses filled with tens of thousands of cows that never see the light of day. And they will learn that in the food business, crime really does pay—especially when you can bribe and then double-cross the president of Brazil. Barons paints a stark portrait of corporate consolidation, but it also shows that a fair, healthy, and prosperous food industry is possible—if we take back power from the barons who have robbed us of it.
