"The Color of Food is a stunning collection of portraits and stories that sheds light on the seemingly forgotten agricultural history of people of color. Author, photographer and biracial farmer Natasha Bowens quest to explore her own roots in the soil leads her to unearth a larger story, weaving together culture, resilience and the critical issues that lie at the intersection of race and farming. While honoring a tradition far richer than slavery and migrant labor, The Color of Food teaches us that the food and farm movement is about more than buying local and protecting our soil. It is about preserving community, digging deeply into the places we've overlooked, and celebrating those who have come before us. Blending storytelling, photography, oral history, and unique insight, these pages remind us that true food sovereignty means a place at the table for everyone."--From publisher.
