| Abstract | Written by one of the leading experts on food activism, this book is an independent, full-length study of the Slow Food movement. Slow Food is an international organization that links the love of food with community, political, and environmental support. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork inside Slow Food's international headquarters in Italy, Valeria Siniscalchi reveals what really goes on behind the scenes of this enigmatic organization. Observing daily meetings, decision-making processes, and major events, she explores the contradictions, complexities, and ambiguities of the movement--as well as the passionate commitment of its employees, members, and leaders. Through talking to insiders and people who have "broken" with Slow Food, Siniscalchi makes a major contribution to our understanding of one of the most high profile and controversial food movements in the world--and to our knowledge of activist organizations more broadly--back cover. |
