“Medicine Food: Critical Environmental Justice Studies, Native North American Literature and the Movement for Food Sovereignty.” Special Issue: Indigenous Studies, Guest Edited by Kyle Powys Whyte, Environmental Justice, Vol. 4 No. 4 (December 2011): 213-219. (original) (raw)

This article critically examines the intersection of environmental justice, Native North American literature, and the movement for food sovereignty. It discusses how literature contributes to the understanding of environmental injustices faced by Indigenous communities by shifting the focus from statistical approaches to a more visual and metaphorical representation of issues. The author emphasizes the significance of indigenous practices in gardening and farming as expressions of autonomy and health improvement, rather than merely symbols of political resistance.
