Traversing a range of cultures, including the Tohono O'odham of the Sonoran Desert and the Rarámuri of the Sierra Tarahumara, the book is an illuminating journey through the southwest United States and northern Mexico. Salmón weaves his historical and cultural knowledge as a renowned indigenous ethnobotanist with stories American Indian farmers have shared with him to illustrate how traditional indigenous foodways--from the cultivation of crops to the preparation of meals--are rooted in a time-honored understanding of environmental stewardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this fascinating personal narrative, Salmón focuses on an array of indigenous farmers who uphold traditional agricultural practices in the face of modern changes to food systems such as extensive industrialization and the genetic modification of food crops. Despite the vast cultural and geographic diversity of the region he explores, Salmón reveals common themes: the importance of participation in a reciprocal relationship with the land, the connection between each group's cultural identity and their ecosystems, and the indispensable correlation of land consciousness and food consciousness. Salmón shows that these collective philosophies provide the foundation for indigenous resilience as the farmers contend with global climate change and other disruptions to long-established foodways. This resilience, along with the rich stores of traditional ecological knowledge maintained by indigenous agriculturalists, Salmón explains, may be the key to sustaining food sources for humans in years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs many of us begin to question the origins and collateral costs of the food we consume, Salmón's call for a return to more traditional food practices in this wide-ranging and insightful book is especially timely. \u003ci\u003eEating the Landscape \u003c\/i\u003eis an essential resource for ethnobotanists, food sovereignty proponents, and advocates of the local food and slow food movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e 02\/06\/2012 pg. 49 (EAN 9780816530113, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Salmón, Enrique\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2012-05-01\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e History|Indigenous|General|History|United States|State \u0026amp; Local - Southwest (AZ, NM, OK, TX)|Cooking|Essays \u0026amp; Narratives\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Indians of North America|Food|Southwest, New|Agriculture|Ethnic identity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816530113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780816530113\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Arizona Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51154432164118,"sku":"SP-9780816530113","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/9910\/8886\/files\/9780816530113_spiral.png?v=1774944261","url":"https:\/\/lusper.myshopify.com\/products\/eating-the-landscape-american-indian-stories-of-food-identity-and-resilience","provider":"Lusperbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
