Food from the Radical Center
Island Press (Verlag)
978-1-61091-919-7 (ISBN)
America has never felt more divided. But in the midst of all the acrimony comes one of the most promising movements in
our country’s history. People of all races, faiths, and political persuasions are coming together to restore America's natural
wealth: its ability to produce healthy foods.
In Food from the Radical Center, Gary Nabhan tells the stories of diverse communities who are getting their hands dirty
and bringing back North America's unique fare: bison, sturgeon, camas lilies, ancient grains, turkeys, and more. These
efforts have united people from the left and right, rural and urban, faith-based and science-based, in game-changing
collaborations. Their successes are extraordinary by any measure, whether economic, ecological, or social. In fact, the
restoration of land and rare species has provided—dollar for dollar—one of the best returns on investment of any
conservation initiative.
As a leading thinker and seasoned practitioner in biocultural conservation, Nabhan offers a truly unique perspective on
the movement. He draws on fifty years of work with community-based projects around the nation, from the desert
Southwest to the low country of the Southeast. Yet Nabhan’s most enduring legacy may be his message of hope: a vision
of a new environmentalism that is just and inclusive, allowing former adversaries to commune over delicious foods.
Gary Paul Nabhan is the Kellogg Endowed Chair at the University of Arizona's Southwest Center. He is author or editor of more than thirty books, including Growing Food in a Hotter, Drier Land; Where Our Food Comes From; and Renewing America's Food Traditions. Honored with a MacArthur "genius" award, a Lannan Literary Fellowship, the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing, and other awards, Gary is recognized as the father of the local food movement.
