Produktbeschreibung

What is our ecclesial response to food insecurity? Scrimpin' and Scrapin': The Hardships and Hustle of Women and Food Insecurity in Texas Through a Womanist Theological Lens is an introduction to the systemic injustices that cause food insecurity. Through an epistemology that interrogates and asks questions, Blair-Lavallais looks at the origins of food banks, food pantries, and community fridges. She explores the root causes of food insecurity and the ways that food is political. She calls for a holy wrestling that seeks to find solutions that transform the experiences of women in Texas from barely getting by to being food secure. The church cannot stay silent nor just pray it away. People of faith must activate their faith in tangible, meaningful and transformative ways. This is the moment to be ecclesial disruptors of a system that has caused harm and left many of our neighbors, especially women, living in food deserts and uncertain about their access to healthy food. Scrimpin' and Scrapin' is examined through a womanist theological lens and looks at women and food insecurity in Texas.
