Bad Choices in Our Food System

By: Lydia Zepeda

Globally, our food system contributes to resource and habitat depletion, climate change, pollution, social injustice, economic hardship for small and medium farmers, and a public health crisis. The environmental, social, and public health costs of this current system are not properly acknowledged. Agriculture is the leading user of land and water, and a significant contributor to greenhouse gases, while farmers and agricultural and food workers are struggling to make a living. Diet is implicated in one in five deaths worldwide and diet-related illnesses are the leading cause of deaths in the US. Unhealthy diets occur across all countries and all income levels. Despite this, we are told it is the consumers’ fault. Putting the blame on individuals deflects attention from the policies that created the problems in the first place. With a focus on US policies, this book examines how our global food system has given us bad choices.

Infamy

How One Woman Brought an International Sex Trafficking Ring to Justice

By: Lydia Cacho

In 2005, after publishing her book The Demons of Eden—where she denounced the very powerful men behind the a Mexican child pornography ring—Lydia Cacho became a target. Exactly eight months after the publication of the book, one morning as she was making her way to work, Lydia was apprehended by the police from the neighboring state of Puebla, and taken into custody during a nightmarish 24 hours during which she was tortured, intimidated and abused. In this chilling memoir, comparable to Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel, Lydia tells her story and exposes the horrific ways in which women—and young girls in particular—are abused then disposed of, while an oftentimes corrupt government simply sits and watches.

La Calle

Spatial Conflicts and Urban Renewal in a Southwest City

By: Lydia R. Otero

Otero is re-voicing the silenced and examining the role of power and voice in creating an imagined history. She offers a rich understanding of how resistance exists in everyday practices by individuals and how such resistance continues in the face of powerful-and disempowering---institutional and social relations." Gabriela F. Arredondo, author of Mexican Chicago: Race, Identity and Nation, 1916-1939 "Based on meticulous research and oral histories, Lydia Otero's La Calle documents the Tucson Mexican American community's tragic experience with urban renewal during the 1960s. It is an indictment of the politics, greed, and racism that led to the destruction of the Mexican American economic, historical, cultural, and architectural heart of the Old Pneblo. It is also an elegy and a eulogy honoring those who fought city hall, often in vain, to preserve Tucson's Mexican past. We owe them, as well as Lydia, our profound gratitude for telling their stories." Patricia Preciado Martin, author of Beloved Land: An Oral History of Mexican Americans in Southern Arizona On March 1, 1900, the voters of Tucson approved the Pueblo Center Redevelopment Project---Arizona's first Injor urban reneat project---which targeted the most densely populated eighty ares in the state. For Close to one hundred years, tuesonenses had created their own spatial reality in the historical, predominantly Mexiacan American heart of the city, an area most called "la calle". Here, ainid small retail and service shops, restaurants, and certainment vernues, they openly lived and celebrated their culture. To make Way for the Puehlo Cemten's new buildings, city ofticials proceeded to displace la calle;s residents and to demolisbh their ethuically diverse neighborhoods, which, Contends Lydia Otero, challenged the spatral an cultural assumptions of postwar modernity, suburbra, and urban Planning.
