Empowering (dis)Coloured Female Bodies Via Food Pedagogy

To be able to understand and respond to a sociological issue we must first find the source. To be able to offer options for a change we must first listen. (dis)Coloured bodies have held a significant but extremely unequal place in the Canadian society for decades. This book places a primary focus on women’s studies and the (dis)coloured female body. As an inter-disciplinarian academic I begin this book with a brief historical dig which serves to highlight past causes to current effects. History along with politics and governance are therefore used to identify some of the sources of numerous modern-day discriminatory practices. The book addresses bodies cross-culturally and multi-ethnicities with theories ranging from sociology communication anthropology psychosocial and lifespan development to name a few. Finally having presented information on the source that allows for an understanding of the problem and having self-reflectively and experientially listened I conclude with options for change and empowerment of (dis)coloured female bodies via my theory of food kinship and my socio-pedagogical methodology of slocalization.
