Synopsis

William Still's "The Underground Railroad" serves as a central testament to the harrowing experience of enslaved Africans seeking freedom via the clandestine network that helped them escape to the North. Through meticulous documentation, Still employs a narrative style rooted in both oral history and personal testimonies, which lends authenticity to the voices of those he describes. The work is contextualized within the broader abolitionist movement, illustrating the intertwining of personal sacrifice and collective action that characterized the era. His use of poignant anecdotes and detailed accounts crafts a vivid portrait of both the peril and hope embodied in the struggle for liberation. Still, born to formerly enslaved parents, emerged as a foremost advocate for abolition and civil rights in the 19th century. His own background informed his profound understanding of the plight of fugitive slaves, and he became a key figure in the Underground Railroad, assisting countless individuals in their quest for freedom. Additionally, his work as an advocate, writer, and historian reflects a commitment to preserving the narratives of an otherwise marginalized experience in American history. This important work is highly recommended for readers interested in American history, civil rights, and the enduring legacy of the Underground Railroad. Still's unique perspective not only documents a pivotal moment in the nation's past but also underscores the resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppression. Engaging with this text will offer readers invaluable insights into the struggles for freedom and justice.

    This authoritative primer lays out everything you need to know to understand today's global food landscape. 
     
     
     
    The third edition of Food Politics has been updated to reflect the latest developments and research on today's global food landscape, including the realities of food markets, farm production methods, food manufacturing, and dietary health challenges. New material covers the rise of China in world food markets and global food politics, the unabated and increasing risks to farming from climate change, the impact COVID-19 had on incomes and hunger, the equally shocking impact from the war in Ukraine on food prices and trade, and surprising scientific and technical breakthroughs such as the genome editing of crops (CRISPR) and the marketing of cell-cultured (animal-free) meats. Each chapter has been updated with new data on population growth, hunger and food security, trade conflicts, humanitarian aid, carbon farming, regenerative agriculture, holistic grazing, animal welfare, genetically engineered food, and more. 
     
     
     
    Discussing the politics and policies that continue to shape our contemporary food system, Robert Paarlberg challenges myths and critiques more than a few of today's fashionable beliefs about farming and food. A must-listen for those ready to have their thinking about food politics informed, but also challenged.
