Seminar #2

Venue: Impulse building, Speakers Corner
Speaker: Khayaat Fakier
Title: Who stirs the pot? Class, care and food sovereignty in South Africa
Abstract: The seminar looks at what it means ‘to eat from one pot’, a culture of sharing food which is ascribed to many poor South African households. I will discuss what this means materially, and from a Marxist Feminist perspective in a context where most available land is used for non-sustainable industrial agriculture, in the face of poverty, starvation and environmental damage.
