“…In fact, scholars have developed various terms to describe this strategy, such as Ghassan Hage's (1997) "cosmo-multiculturalism", Yasmin Alibhai-Brown's (2000) "3S (samosas, steel drums, and saris) model of multiculturalism" or Sam Grey and Lenore Newman's (2018) "gastronomic multiculturalism". The existing scholarship on food multiculturalism is mainly critical as the failures of food multiculturalism are argued to largely mirror that of liberal multiculturalism (Alibhai-Brown, 2000;Duruz, 2010;Flowers & Swan, 2012;Grey and Newman, 2018;Gunew, 1993;Hage, 1997). For Grey and Newman (2018) liberal multiculturalism refers to an ideology and a set of policies that point to the recognition of minority cultures as the remedy to structural inequality.…”

By focusing on Toronto as a “global city” (Sassen, 1991), the main objective of this Major Research Paper is to examine the contradictory relationship between Toronto’s discourse of “food multiculturalism” (Flowers & Swan, 2012) and processes of “culinary colonialism” (Heldke, 2003). This paper will use Tourism Toronto’s “How To Eat...” guides as a case study of Toronto’s discourse of food multiculturalism. Through critical discourse analysis, this paper demonstrates how Toronto’s discourse of food multiculturalism depends on colonial assumptions that commodify its racialized immigrants and diaspora as the Other. Consequently, this paper finds that Toronto’s global city strategy is critically linked to culinary colonialism. Furthermore, this paper conceptually builds on culinary colonialism by emphasizing food adventuring as a performative act of the Other. Within this context, these guides also operate as an intimate map for individual eaters to perform ‘the Other’ through food.

“…Grey and Newman (2018) conceptualize their own "culinary colonialism" that considers the "irreducible territorial dimensions" (p.719) of indigenous food sovereignty. They define culinary colonialism as the "extension of Settler jurisdiction over, and exploitation of, Indigenous gastronomy" (p.719).…”

“…Some food systems scholars call attention to the colonial (and settler colonial) relationships that construct and reconstruct oppressive structures and constrain the entitlements of colonized and Indigenous communities (Settee and Shukla, 2020). This includes contributions and critiques, inside and outside of geography, pertaining to food sovereignty (Bernstein, 2014; Desmarais and Wittman, 2014), expanding core elements of food justice (Bradley and Herrera, 2016; Kepkiewicz et al, 2015), articulating settler colonial relations around private property and agriculture (Kepkiewicz and Dale, 2019; Rotz, 2017), engaging food systems policy and governance (Kepkiewicz and Rotz, 2018; Levkoe and Sheedy, 2019; Levkoe and Wilson, 2019; Levkoe et al, 2019b), and considering culinary colonialism and gastronomy (Grey and Newman, 2018). In addition, many settler scholars are helping to advance these efforts (Kepkiewicz, 2020; Mayes, 2018; Rudolph and McLachlan, 2013).…”

Toward a radical food geography praxis: integrating theory, action, and geographic analysis in pursuit of more equitable and sustainable food systems

Radical geographies scholarship has evolved over the past decades in pursuit of transforming spatial, political-economic, social, and ecological engagements within oppressive structures. Similarly, food systems scholarship demonstrates increasing interest in the scalar, sociopolitical, and ecological dynamics of food systems, often with an applied or action-oriented focus. Building on these connected, yet divergent, traditions of scholarship and action, we propose a radical food geography praxis that is rooted in the intersections of active resistance to structures that (re)produce power inequity and oppression in food systems in specific places and across spaces, and an ongoing process of critical and theoretical reflection about these structures and geographies. The radical food geography praxis we propose consists of three primary and interconnected elements: (1) theoretical engagements with power and structures of oppression both inside and outside the academy; (2) action through academic, social movement, and civil society collaborations; and (3) analysis through a broadly defined geographic lens. Through bringing together radical geographies and food systems scholarship, a radical food geography praxis reveals the interconnectivity between places and movements, relationality between land and people, the flows of people, environmental resources, ideas, and culture, and the diverse approaches to achieving justice-oriented objectives. In order to build more equitable and sustainable food systems, it is essential to engage with these geographic realities in deeply theoretical and action-oriented ways.

“…Engle 2010), while separating those 'cultures' from the lands from which they arise and to which they are inseparably linked (Grey and Patel 2015). Further, neoliberal multiculturalism strives to erase historical and political specificity, including experiences of past and ongoing colonialism, in order to re-cast Indigenous peoples as one minority among many, supplanting Indigenous inherent (political) rights with minority (cultural) rights (Grey and Newman 2018).…”
