Food and Labour

Nov. 7 - Food and Labour

We will be discussing "Harvesting Freedom: The Life of a Migrant Worker in Canada" by Gabriel Allahdua, and "Plundering the North: A History of Setter Colonialism, Welfare, and Food Insecurity" by Kristen Burnett and Travis Hay, and drawing connections between labour, food, nourishment, and land, highlighting how food systems have exploited migrant workers and commodified and monopolized food systems.
