I just received notification that an anthology of writing is imminent (available for preorder) from the perspective of a number of vegan black women living in North America. The details of the publication says lecture on the decolonization of their diets and their lives change all based food veganism: br The book is about how a group of blackidentified women receiving vegan nutrition, food, environmental sustainability, health and sanitation, animal rights, parenting, social justice, spirituality, hair care, race, gender, identification, womanism, and release all go against the (refining and bleached) fiber of our dysfunctional society. br The anthology is produced by A. Breeze Harper, whose website I found some years ago and was impressed. Apply Harper (correctly) that the soul food, comfort and source of identity for many black people, is a source of poor nutrition and ill health that affects the total release. Black, especially women who participate in fat, meat diet soul food show health problems such as diabetes, uterine fibroids, depression and obesity. Harper suggests all vegan food, which can lead to empowerment and health at the junk food addiction and poor health. br This is a very interesting point in light of the positions of privilege and colonialism that are sometimes directed against proponents of veganism. It is often suggested that veganism is born of the white middle class privilege and idleness, and that has nothing to offer the world who have great problems of poverty, poor health, oppression. However, as Harper points out, the soul food diet is in itself a colonial diet, the result of cheap meat and processed foods brought to you by the North American agriculture office machinery. And against the charge of colonialism against veganism, Harper presents veganism as a tool of liberation of women and black as a challenge to the fueling business and Western industrialization. br And anyway, saying that veganism is the product of white middle class people give them too much credit. Strict vegetarianism the complete omission of animal products from the diet, and the practice of compassion and no harm to all beings has been a boost for thousands of years by many civilizations. Think of the Jains or Hindus or Buddhists. More information in the world is not vegetarian, the only white westernized society that is biased against vegetarianism, and only recently that his diet has become so meatcentered in destructive ways. br So anyway I think that A. Harpers Breeze voice is a good listener, and I hope to have the opportunity to peek into this collection and see what is inside. br br
