Free Food For Everyone!,
By Eric Ingrate (Seattle, Wa. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Food Not Bombs (Paperback)
This is an excellent book, detailing this group (Food Not Bombs, which grew from a small anti-nuke collective into a decentralised international organization, with autonomous chapters throughout the world. This book is an indispensable resource for challenging capitalism, through the direct redistribution of food. Includes stories of specific actions, recipes, and clip art. Try to find this book through a small independent bookstore, not a ultra capitalistic dot-com. Don't buy into consumerism, get involved! "The Revolution Will Be Catered!"

not what I had expected,
By Don Gunn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Food Not Bombs (Paperback)
I picked up this book to do a little background research on the movement of Food Not Bombs, so that I could set up my own Bikes not Bombs organization. So what I was looking for was a lot of core philosophies and history of Food Not Bombs.Anyway, enough about me...since what you really want to know about is the book, right? Well what I found was a manual for starting your own organization complete with recipes and advice on what to do to get it all started. This would be really helpful if that's what you were looking for, for me not so much. The history and tales of the organizers tended to really focus on the clashes with police, which I found pretty disappointing. I'm really not much of a protestor or celebrator of clashes like that, and although I understand it played a role in the history of the movement it seemed brutally overemphasized. It was to the point where it almost seemed more clebrated than the greater cause, to feed the hungry...not elevate themselves to martyrdom beause they got arrested making miso soup. There are some goodies in here, but in general I was disappointed with the focus the book took. After reading the forward by Howard Zinn I was expecting a heapload more than I ended up with. I came from a different angle than most, so take that into consideration. If you are about to set up your own Food Not Bombs organization or enjoy war-stories of elevating your cause because of clashes with riot police this book is the ticket for you. As for me it left a disappointing taste in my mouth. |
