Reclaiming the Radical Imagination: Food Sovereignty and Land Security for Black Liberation

This essay presents an ethnographic study of The Black Church Food Security Network. The Network is a collective of churches, growers, and farmer's markets creating an alternative church-to-table food distribution system. The Network is motivated by the radical imagination , a hope that defines liberation as Black communities reconnected to land. This study encourages scholars to reclaim the radical imagination of land-centered resistance movements like the Black Church Food Security Network. By doing so, ethicists are empowered to generate revolutionary social imaginaries that refuse the violences of racial capitalism and colonial imaginations.
