SUMMARY:The Spirit of Soul Food
DESCRIPTION:The Baton Foundation\, in partnership with the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History\, will host a lecture about the confluence of the history of Black American foodways with a Christian ethical response to food injustice. This program is free to the public\, but registration is required. \nAbout the Book\nSoul food has played a critical role in preserving Black history\, community\, and culinary genius. It is also a response to—and marker of—centuries of food injustice. Given the harm that our food production system inflicts upon Black people\, what should soul food look like today? \nChristopher Carter’s answer to that question merges a history of Black American foodways with a Christian ethical response to food injustice. Carter reveals how racism and colonialism have long steered the development of US food policy. \nThe very food we grow\, distribute\, and eat disproportionately harms Black people specifically and people of color among the global poor in general. Carter reflects on how people of color can eat in a way that reflects their cultural identities while remaining true to the principles of compassion\, love\, justice\, and solidarity with the marginalized. Both a timely mediation and a call to action\, The Spirit of Soul Food (University of Illinois Press\, November 2021)\, places today’s Black foodways at the crossroads of food justice and Christian practice. PURCHASE BOOK HERE. \nAbout the Author\nReverend Dr. Christopher Carter’s teaching\, research\, and activist interests are in Black\, Womanist\, and Environmental ethics\, with a particular focus on race\, food\, and nonhuman animals. He is the co-creator of Racial Resilience\, an anti-racism and anti-bias program that utilizes the combined insights of contemplative practices and critical race theories. His academic publications include The Spirit of Soul Food\, and “Blood in the Soil: The Racial\, Racist\, and Religious Dimensions of Environmentalism” in The Bloomsbury Handbook on Religion and Nature (Bloomsbury\, 2018). \nThe passion that informs all his work evolves out of his family’s struggle to loosen the chains of systematic racism – similar to bell hooks\, he believes that education is the practice of freedom. He believes that at its broadest level\, learning should be transformational: it should transform how the student views herself\, her neighbor\, and her worldview. Currently\, Reverend Carter is an Assistant Professor of Theology at the University of San Diego\, a Faith in Food Fellow at Farm Forward\, and lead pastor of The Loft in Westwood California. \nRegister Here for Zoom Lecture

SUMMARY:Birth of a White Nation
DESCRIPTION:The Baton Foundation\, in partnership with the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History\, will host a lecture about the social construction of race through the invention of white people. This program is free to the public\, but registration is required. \nAbout the Book\nBirth of a White Nation: The Invention of White People and its Relevance Today\, Second Edition (New York: Routledge Press\, 2021)\, examines the social construction of race through the invention of white people. Surveying colonial North American law and history\, the book interrogates the origins of racial inequality and injustice in American society\, and details how the invention still serves to protect the ruling elite today. \nThis second edition documents the proliferation of ideas imposed and claimed throughout history that have conspired to give content\, form\, and social meaning to one’s racial classification. Beginning its expanded narrative with the development of diverse Native American societies through contact with European colonizers in the Tidewater region\, and progressing to the emigration of Mexicans\, Irish\, and other “non-whites”\, this new edition addresses the ongoing production and reproduction of whiteness as a distinct and dominant social category. It also looks to the future by developing a new\, applied framework for countering racial inequality and promoting greater awareness of anti-racist policies and practices. \nBirth of a White Nation will be of great interest to students\, scholars\, and general readers seeking to make sense of the dramatic racial inequities of our time and to forge an antiracist path forward. PURCHASE BOOKS HERE \nAbout the Author\nJacqueline Battalora is an attorney and professor of sociology at Saint Xavier University in Chicago and a former Chicago Police Officer. Battalora is an editor for the Journal of Understanding and Dismantling Privilege. \nProfessor Battalora completed her law degree and came to Chicago to practice. Her interest in the role of law in creating human difference shaped her graduate work at Northwestern University where she received her Ph.D. She is listed with the National Speakers Association and is represented by SpeakOut.
