For centuries, Black women have been written out of the dominant narrative, their stories untold, their art appropriated. Many of them found ways to resist. Some of these acts of resistance happened in secret, in kitchens, churches, through trusted networks. Others were projected onto a global stage through art, politics and activism.Cat White's book is an attempt to correct the historical record and to inspire a generation of readers. From Malinda Russell, the author of the earliest known cookbook by a Black woman to Négritude - a literary, cultural and intellectual movement aimed at raising Black consciousness across Africa and its diaspora, Cat features women from across time and space, liberating them from stereotypes ('strong Black woman') allowing them emotional nuance, individual motivation and richness of expression.

What does it mean when a food-rich society has thousands going hungry?How do food and politics intersect?How can our food habits reconnect us with nature?From family dinners to solo lunches, chain supermarkets to local greengrocers, a measure of wealth to a tactic of civil rights movements, how and what we eat has shaped our relationship with one another and with our environment.But how can we use the cultural, social, personal and political power of food to make a change in the world?Catherine Joy White unpacks the rich and expansive legacy that informs our treatment of food on a global scale and uses it to create a roadmap for the future. White deftly tackles issues such as food poverty and its intersections with identity, misconceptions of disordered eating, nationwide movements such as Marcus Rashford's campaign to feed the children of Britain, as well as innovative new ways of growing, consuming and sharing food in response to the climate crisis.What we eat matters, and On the Future of Food is a deeply thoughtful, joyfully optimistic call to imagine and demand better - for ourselves and for future generations.Rebel Takes is a series that asks its writers to hope. Exploring the past and present of foundational apsects of society, each instalment will envision an alternative future, charge history with radical possibility and set out to answer the question: how can we make change happen?***Previous praise for Catherine Joy White:'An extraordinary writer, the kind who turns non-fiction into poetry ' Afua Hirsch'A much needed voice in our current cultural landscape' Ione Gamble'To be held by [White's] words is an absolute pleasure' Ruby Rare
