Stirrings

In Stirrings Lana Dee Povitz argues that the fight for food justice in New York City led not to corporatization of grassroots efforts but rather to the creation of a service-oriented movement in which nonprofit organizations engaged in responsive, coordinated, and community-based social activism and direct provision of food. Her research centers on four case studies: United Bronx Parents, an antipoverty organization that worked to improve school lunches and establish a free summer meal program; Park Slope Food Coop in Brooklyn, the largest worker-member food cooperative in the United States today; God's Love We Deliver, a meal delivery service for homebound people with Aids (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome); and Community Food Resource Center, which attempted to address shortfalls due to federal cuts in social welfare in the 1980s. When taken together, these case studies provide an in-depth study of food activism in a single city, challenge the narrative that nonprofits co-opted
