The Politics of Food in the United States <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politique de l\u2019alimentation aux Etats-Unis <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(voir plus bas pour la version fran\u00e7aise<\/em>) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food in the United States is framed by myths and stereotypes. The myth of America as a land of plenty, embodied by the \u201cfirst\u201d Thanksgiving, is far from the reality the first settlers encountered, and creates an image of harmonious relations between Native Americans and New England colonists that belies the violence of colonization. Today, the image of the \u201cfast food nation\u201d masks the diversity of local cuisines and the rich history of food and foodways in the US. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last decades, the rise of obesity and type 2 diabetes have turned abundance into a nightmare of individual and public health; in parallel, there has been a rise in multiple movements advocating alternative models for the production and consumption of food, based on locavorism, vegetarianism and veganism, environmentalism, anti-capitalism and animal rights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such movements derive from earlier political struggles that aimed at changing the way in which Americans eat, from the Pure Food movement of the Progressive era (Swainston Goodwin) to the political struggles against agribusiness in the 1960s and 1970s (Belasco). Such movements led to utopian experimentations and protest and to the passing of legislation on food security and food production. However, as Michael Pollan wrote in \u201cThe Food Movement, Rising,\u201d in 2010, \u201cfood in America has been more or less invisible, politically speaking, until very recently.\u201d The field of food studies as it intersects with political science and history is more developed in the United States than in other countries, but the analysis of the interactions between food and social movements is only beginning.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This issue of Politique am\u00e9ricaine <\/em>seeks to address these interactions and to analyze the politics of food in grassroots social movements. Beyond the legitimate issues linked with public health and public policies, food-based social movements often advocate alternative ways of living together and provide a new perspective on civil society that is built outside the mainstream. Food is sustenance, but it is also a locus <\/em>of socialization, sociability and education (Flammang), where issues of gender (Counihan), race (Witt, Opie) and class (Finn), are played out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contributors are invited to submit proposals related to the following themes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
