On the margins of the dominant system, Stanton found herself reckoning with its deep racial and class inequities, and learning that making real change requires a fierce commitment to community and a willingness to change herself as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part memoir and part history lesson, \u003ci\u003eFood Margins\u003c\/i\u003e traces the tangled economic and political histories of the plantation, the factory, and the supermarket through the life of one New England town.
