Abstract "In this sociology-based history, Bobby J. Smith II uses archival research, interviews, and oral histories to unearth a food story buried deep within the soil of American civil rights history. Thinking with multiple disciplines, including critical food studies, Black studies, history, sociology, agri-food studies, and southern studies, Smith uncovers a neglected period of the movement--what he calls the food story of the Mississippi civil rights movement--when activists expanded the meaning of civil rights to address food as integral to sociopolitical and economic conditions"-- Provided by publisher.
