An Anthropology of White Supremacy in Detroit
White supremacist ideas are prefabricated within the concept of a hierarchized white racial order and resultant unequal distribution of life and death. These age-of-Enlightenment-humanist ideas remain tethered to public opinion and policy, cohering racial whiteness as the ideal in a collective political unconscious. Of course, an anthropology of white supremacy is not a departure from existing radical political economic analytics but rather a com…
Recruitment, Retention, and Future Direction for a Heart Health Education and Risk Reduction Intervention Led by Community Health Workers in an African American Majority City
Heart disease is a leading cause of death for African Americans. A community-academic partnership cross-trained community health workers to engage African American adults in a 6-month heart health education and risk reduction intervention. We conducted a one-group feasibility study using a one group (pre-posttest) design. A total of 100 adults were recruited from 27 zip codes in an African American majority city through community-based organizati…
Forms of Community Engagement in Neighborhood Food Retail
Community engagement is well established as a key to improving public health. Prior food environment research has largely studied community engagement as an intervention component, leaving much unknown about how food retailers may already engage in this work. The purpose of this study was to explore the community engagement activities employed by neighborhood food retailers located in lower-income communities with explicit health missions to unde…
Balancing Mission and Margins
Mission-driven, independently-owned community food stores have been identified as a potential solution to improve access to healthy foods, yet to date there is limited information on what factors contribute to these stores' success and failure. Using a multiple case study approach, this study examined what makes a healthy community food store successful and identified strategies for success in seven community stores in urban areas across the Unit…
A Commentary on the Healthy Community Stores Case Study Project
In the United States, low-income, underserved rural and urban settings experience poor access to healthy, affordable food. Introducing new food outlets in these locations has shown mixed results for improving healthy food consumption. The Healthy Community Stores Case Study Project (HCSCSP) explored an alternative strategy: supporting mission-driven, locally owned, healthy community food stores to improve healthy food access. The HCSCSP used a mu…
Increasing Healthy Food Access for Low-Income Communities
Improving healthy food access in low-income communities continues to be a public health challenge. One strategy for improving healthy food access has been to introduce community food stores, with the mission of increasing healthy food access; however, no study has explored the experiences of different initiatives and models in opening and sustaining healthy food stores. This study used a case study approach to understand the experiences of health…
Refining the Nutrition Environment Measures Survey (Nems) for Healthy Community Stores
Inadequate consumption of healthy food is an ongoing public health issue in the United States. Food availability measures of supply versus consumption of healthy foods are disconnected in many studies. There is a need for an objective assessment of the food environment in order to assess how the food supply aligns with the Healthy Eating Index (HEI). Data were collected as part of the Healthy Community Stores Case Study Project, including a refin…
Food insecurity in Detroit
Objective: The objective of the current study was to determine if patients of a large health care system in Detroit who self-identify as food insecure live further away from healthy grocery stores compared with food secure patients. Second, we explored whether food insecurity and distance to healthy grocery stores are related to ecological measures of vehicle availability in the area of residence. Design: A secondary data analysis that uses basel…

The Flint Food Store Survey
The Flint Food Store Survey: combining spatial analysis with a modified Nutrition Environment Measures Survey in Stores (NEMS-S) to measure the community and consumer nutrition environments – ADDENDUM - Volume 22 Issue 11
Using social media to assess the consumer nutrition environment
Objective To examine the feasibility of using social media to assess the consumer nutrition environment by comparing sentiment expressed in Yelp reviews with information obtained from a direct observation audit instrument for grocery stores. Design Trained raters used the Nutrition Environment Measures Survey in Stores (NEMS-S) in 100 grocery stores from July 2015 to March 2016. Yelp reviews were available for sixty-nine of these stores and were …
The Flint Food Store Survey
Objective The goal of the present study was to use a methodology that accurately and reliably describes the availability, price and quality of healthy foods at both the store and community levels using the Nutrition Environment Measures Survey in Stores (NEMS-S), to propose a spatial methodology for integrating these store and community data into measures for defining objective food access. Setting Two hundred and sixty-five retail food stores in…
Using Social Media to Identify Sources of Healthy Food in Urban Neighborhoods
Critical inquiry into Detroit's "food desert" metaphor
Over the last decade, the “food desert” metaphor has emerged, evolved, and expanded. The media use it as a negative metaphorical label applied to the city of Detroit, but those living in the city and working on food advocacy disregard it. The juxtaposition of the media's narrow narrative of a barren Detroit clashes with the sustained efforts of local food advocates and activists who continue to address the inequitable access to food experienced b…
The Detroitists
Blackness in Post‐Bankruptcy Detroit
Public discourse narrative positions Detroit's post‐bankruptcy revitalization as a rapid process of business and investment descending upon the city. In spite of this narrative, Detroit today remains a city of intense poverty and inequality. Between 2009 and 2013, an estimated 39 percent of Detroit residents were living below the Federal Poverty Line. This figure renders Detroit as statistically the poorest city in the country. In addition to a m…
