Accordingly, this book makes a needed and timely contribution to agrifood studies, rural studies, social movement analysis, and political and social sciences at large. And, more importantly, it will be of use to practitioners and agroecology mobilizations around the world.”-Garrett Graddy-Lovelace, provost associate professor in the School of International Service at American University\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e“\u003ci\u003eMobilizing Hope, Fighting for Change\u003c\/i\u003e stands out for its rigorous and nuanced analysis of four organizations that have different racial compositions and occupations. Anthony Pahnke situates these movements within the longer arc of agrarian struggles in the United States, skillfully weaving together structural factors as well as the micro-social complexities of alliance-building. This well-researched and accessible book is an outstanding contribution to scholarship on food sovereignty, the racial politics of U.S. food movements, and study of social movements.”-Matthew C.

Such an alliance, as Anthony R. Pahnke shows, is unusual given how social movement alliances in the United States, particularly those related to agrarian issues, have historically been deeply divided by race and occupation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Pahnke’s study offers a novel theory for social movement alliance formation, focusing especially on the dynamics of learning. He documents how since the 1980s there have been unprecedented openings for people to work together due to the rise of transnational activist networks, changes in the international political economy, and evolving forms of state authority.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Foregrounding the voices of activists, \u003ci\u003eMobilizing Hope, Fighting for Change\u003c\/i\u003e compares the trajectories of four U.S.-based movements over time-the Mvskoke Food Sovereignty Initiative based in Oklahoma, the Family Farm Defenders of Wisconsin, the Farmworker Association of Florida, and the Mississippi Association of Cooperatives-documenting how they have united in demanding food sovereignty while remaining distinct from one another.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e List of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e List of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Chainsaws and Commitments\u003cbr\u003e 1.
