From Trail of Tears to School Lunch: Andrea Freeman on the Politics of Food

Diverse Voices Book Review contributor Amanda Moore interviewed Southwestern Law School professor Andrea Freeman about her book, RUIN THEIR CROPS ON THE GROUND: The Politics of Food in the United States, from the Trail of Tears to School Lunch. With thoughtful analysis and a careful examination of historical events, Professor Freeman reveals how the U.S. government’s destruction of food resources and the dismantling of cultural norms of minority communities contributed to the mistreatment and systemic oppression of individuals that can still be observed in our society today.
