"This book offers a comprehensive, multi-dimensional account of the global food system and the generation of a burgeoning food sovereignty counter-movement from crisis. Not only does the author provide a substantive mapping of the structuring and institutional politics of agribusiness from production to retailing; she also details the organising trajectory and culture of global opposition through cumulative networking and successful discursive reframing of what is at stake in a food insecure and environmentally challenged world. A didactic and challenging template to agri-food scholars and activists alike." - Philip McMichael, Professor of Development Sociology, Cornell University, USA

"A detailed insight into how the world's largest social movement has achieved structural and discursive power shifts in food politics in 20 years of campaigning for food sovereignty, offering an interesting and inspiring analysis of the movement's broad repertoire of action, including work with alternative media." - Sofia Monsalve Suàrez, Coordinator of Global Land Program, FIAN International

"We have a lot of work to do to recover our economies, ecosystems, and lives from the dictates of multi-national corporations. Vía Campesina is one of the most important models for doing this work and Alana has laboured to provide a thorough guide to their work and liberatory political concepts. Every sentence of Global Activism in Food Politics: Power Shift is either an indictment or an inspiration." - Amory Starr, activist, sociologist, and documentary filmmaker.

"‘Reason’ is one of the most contested concepts of our time. With deftness and with real historical and exegetical scholarship, as well as with great range, Charles Webel carefully negotiates these troubled waters, showing a path between the absurdities of rank post-modernism and the narrownesses of rank scientism. What emerges is a philosophical history of rationality that will be of interest to students and scholars alike. I recommend this book."
Rupert Read, University of East Anglia
"Does reason still have a place in a postmodern world? Charles Webel—historian of ideas, philosopher, psychologist, and social critic—answers this question in the affirmative. I cannot think of another author who could weave together so much diverse material so elegantly and so persuasively. Webel's subtle and balanced defense goes a long way toward redefining rationality as a moral force and rescuing it from its enemies. Those who want to understand not only how we got to where we are, but also the way forward should read this book."
Charles Lindholm, Boston University
"... this is an insightful work, of particular use for assignment to intelligent undergraduates and graduate students, useful as a survey by non-specialists, and worth the time of specialists as a thoughtful reading."
David Randall, Political Studies Review
