Sommario/riassunto

This book is a comprehensive analysis of the barriers and opportunities confronting minority communities' ability to access healthy, fresh foods. Mata uses three minority districts in Oakland-Chinatown, Fruitvale, and West Oakland-to examine the patterns of marginalization in relation to the sustainable food system of the California Bay Area.
