Food Justice in AA&PI Communities
Come eat and have a dialogue on food justice in AA+PI communities, ranging from the struggles in sourcing culturally relevant foods, chronic health issues exacerbated by poor diet, and our cultural histories rooted in food production in the United States. We will draw from specific histories such as the role of Native Hawaiian laborers in sugar cane production and the commodification of Thai food within the United States beginning as early as the early twentieth century.
