Ilarion Merculieff had the name/title/role of kuuyux, "arm reaching out", passed to him by an elder, the "outgoing" kuuyux. His mentor was with him for many years from a young age; during this time, Ilarion heard no more than 200 words from him. At age 6(?), he would go on his own before dawn, to observe and learn from the birds on the sea cliffs. Children were not "shown" how to do anything; there were no "why" conversations.
A few decades ago he dropped many societal roles to take on being kuuyux. You'll find him talking widely, youtube and elsewhere.

Here's a post from Yael Zeligman (now his partner and wife), just before she moved from Israel to Alaska to marry Kuuyux.

"To choose wisely, we must unlearn much of the history we have been taught. Many of us learned a version of our history as one of inevitable progress, goodness, and triumph. Many of us learned the inverted version, that our history is one of inevitable sin, racism, conquest, greed. Neither of these is true, because both versions airbrush out our own free will. The truth is, America is a battle, a struggle for justice. And we choose, every generation, who wins."

"Power always thinks it has a great Soul, and vast Views, beyond the Comprehension of the Weak, and that it is doing God's Service, when it is violating all his Laws."

1.5 She invokves fucking Malthus in chapter 1, extending the idea that reproduction rates and the 'lack of infrastrucutre' are responsible for hunger and food waste in the Global South, deflecting blame from colonialist capture and neocolonialist wealth extraction and exploitation. She has some puzzle pieces with decent stats but misplaces them amidst her noodling with an onslaught of what dead white men have spouted.

'Having had the temerity to mention food, death and morality all in the same breath, Malthus is, perhaps inevitably, the figure around which the ‘feed the world’ debate tends to galvanise. By raising the issue of population, he ventured into territory that for many remains taboo even today. Yet to discuss how we should eat without addressing the question of population is at best limited and at worst meaningless, since the two problems are so obviously connected. Malthus may have been a doom-mongering pessimist, but his theory is yet to be proven wrong. However responsibly we farm, fish, hunt or gather, our appetites continue to shape the planet and affect the life chances of us and our fellow earthlings.'
While previously in the chapter:
'Factory farming, by contrast, is almost comically inefficient. One third of the global grain harvest is now fed to animals, food which, if we ate it directly, could feed up to ten times as many people.

'To compound matters, we’re not great at managing the food that we do produce. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), farmers worldwide currently provide the daily equivalent of 2,800 calories of food per person – more than enough to go round, given an ideal food system.'

'...if Western nations limited their food supplies to just 130 per cent of their nutritional needs and developing states could reduce post-harvest losses to levels similar to those in the developed world, one third of the global food supply could be saved, enough to feed the world’s hungry twenty-three times over.

This is an important book for anyone working in food to read now, in times of (corona) crisis.
There is a lot of talk about what 'the world after corona' could be. And also - probably justified - a lot of criticism about the idea that the world "after corona" will be significantly different from the one we had before. Nevertheless, this current pandemic makes a number of existing crises in the world more visible that need more attention. Inequality, underpaid essential jobs and specifically in the world of food: a global dependence on a food system that is unsustainable in the long run, because it is too dependent on unsustainable inputs like cheap labour, oil and fertilizers.

This book forces the reader to rethink how utopian we may be when we think about the future of the world. The central question is: "What would the world be like if we appreciated food again?". Carolyn Steel takes us down this rabbit hole, visiting great philosophers and contemporary thinkers, entrepreneurs and activists along the way.

The book is divided into seven chapters, from close to the individual to larger and more abstract: Food, Body, Home, Society, City and Countryside, Nature, Time.

It is not a light read. I tried to finish the book in a week because I had a conversation about the book planned on a specific date. That did not work for me and it is probably not the best way to read this book. A chapter a week and a lot of reflecting/ digesting works better.

Steel has read a lot on a large variety of topics, including philosophy, economic history, anthropology, sociology, architecture and biology, and overwhelms her reader with a vast array of knowledge and insights. As interesting as her personal library may be, a significant part of the book simply has little to no relevance to her main topic. The disarray of knowledge and arguments is only heightened by the diffusion of its chapters into short essays, varying from dry academic pieces, to personal accounts and short book summaries.
While I don't dispute the interconnectedness of food with so many aspects of life and living, I found myself plodding through the book in search for actual relevant insights and ideas into how the human relationship with food should and could change, globally. I think I would have much more enjoyed reading this had Steel trimmed her book thoroughly to reveal its essence. Instead, the reader is treated to an overgrown forest of ideas, which one can only enter with a pretty large machete.

Food for thought, mas não satisfaz totalmente. Sitopia traz reflexões interessantes e comprovadamente urgentes sobre o que comemos e a nossa relação com o que nos liga e o que liga a terra ao prato. Ao longo da leitura, é impossível não parar para refletir sobre os sistemas alimentares que dominam grande parte do nosso mundo e sobre a nossa relação com a produção e qualidade da nossa alimentação.

Sitopia traz reflexões interessantes e comprovadamente urgentes sobre o que comemos e a nossa relação com o que nos liga e o que liga a terra ao prato. Ao longo da leitura, é impossível não parar para refletir sobre os sistemas alimentares que dominam grande parte do nosso mundo e sobre a nossa relação com a produção e qualidade da nossa alimentação. Rapidamente percebemos, como provavelmente já suspeitávamos quando escolhemos ler este livro, que o papel da comida nas nossas vidas é muito mais do que insignificante. A comida é uma fonte de vida, bem-estar, conforto e pertença, paz e partilha, como também pode ser todo o seu contrário.
A maioria da argumentação do livro parte de bases filosóficas que ajudam a dissertar sobre a escassez dos recursos e a qualidade e efemeridade da vida - tanto que nem sempre parece um livro sobre comida. Mas é mesmo, e é fácil entender porque é que comida, no fundo, é tudo. As referências usadas são, contudo, quase totalmente eurocêntricas e masculinas, o que embora se justifique pelas origens e percurso da autora, podia ser bem enriquecido por diferentes ecologias do saber, nomeadamente do Sul Global, com experiência quotidiana e contribuições importantes para uma gestão sustentável dos recursos alimentares.

No que diz respeito a soluções, Carolyn Steel, arquiteta de formação, traz vários exemplos inovadores sobre como reformular as cidades e transformar a nossa relação entre o mundo rural e urbano para criar essa Sitopia ideal. Exemplos interessantes, mas que pecam por serem a pequena escala e não proporem uma mudança estrutural com base em políticas públicas - que teriam, queiramos ou não, de ter a coragem de ser radicais. Embora haja no livro uma crítica inerente ao capitalismo e ao sistema alimentar por ele criado, as alternativas apresentadas são timidamente anticapitalistas (roçando até o malthusianismo e anticomunismo em algumas linhas).

Ainda assim, uma leitura importante a que valerá a pena regressar. Demorou a ser lido e deixará reflexões por mais tempo ainda.

I tried. This is a look at food through the lenses of society, but the reach is just too broad. I can appreciate the work being done, but referencing to Aristotle and Rousseau and Harari on literally every page just isn't cutting it for me. I keep asking myself where is this going. And then, when the author states her own facts I'm asking myself : isn't that just an opinion? Could it be brought up in a more nuanced manner?

Sweeping. Many interesting sections, good arguments, and food for thought- including a few dabs of philosophy. Very well researched but betrayed by the chatty style. Made it very readable, but also less convincing.

I can't imagine anyone for whom I'd NOT recommend this read. Steel, as an architect, goes way beyond food as matter and dips quite quickly into sociology, philosophy, psychology and the lot - everything you wouldn't imagine is strongly connected to food. It's masterfully written and enjoyable to read, rich with science, interesting history and great theories to keep rolling on in your head once you've finished this book.

Uitgangspunt dat voedsel onze wereld vormgeeft is boeiend. Maar het sterk Amerikaanse activisme en de wetenschappelijke onnauwkeurigheid maken dit tot een boek om snel weer opzij te leggen.

2) The idea of a Sitopia, as mentioned, is desired, however, very idealistic and one-sided. There’s a very negative portrayal of our current society and of capitalism that I think weakens the overall argument.

3) In my opinion, although making a case for a Sitopian society it lacks concrete suggestions to actually get there.

I do think I will be returning to this book in the future because it has a lot of ideas that I think we should strive towards, but I wish it was stronger in its argument.

It was a fascinating book that I could (for once) read at a stretch if time worked in my favour. I had to surface once in a while to spout any relevant, interesting point to anyone within listening distance. I cannot talk of individual facts because there’d be too many; one can use this as a call to reexamine trends of consumption. The author talks of how access to and requirement of food for sustenance helped design civilization.

The sources of information are straightforward and elaborate. It is a book I would highly recommend to people on the lookout for a well-written introspective book about how food continues to shape us and how we might want to take an active role in shaping our behaviour in that regard to save our futures.

The book does not look at anything with rose-coloured glasses and has a lot of hard truths within it, and the content will take a while to digest completely (if one can ignore the bad, unintentional pun here).

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Carolyn Steel makes a case to rethink our cities as places not only for the detached consumption of food, but of mindful cultivation. If you haven’t given much thought to how much the food we consume says about the world we live in you should read this book. If you been obsessed with the subject like I am, it won’t be a disappointment, she has her moments. You might though, find it repetitive if you have read Pollan, Barber and Harari, she builds a lot on them

Very interesting book, and somewhat well written. I found the topics interesting, and the way that the book is ordered - on all the different facets that food and culture are related - smart. However, often the chapters roll from anecdote into anecdote, and I often miss the structure when reading the chapters. Still, recommended for the vast source of information that this book provides!

An amazingly insightful book as to how food impacts so many aspects of our life and interactions as humans. I really enjoyed how many connections were made which bring us back to food and how important food is to our wellbeing and society.

Goed boek. Het geeft een indringend beeld van de noodzaak om anders met voedsel om te gaan. Wel wat teleurgesteld. Er wordt heel veel bijgehaald. Teveel naar mijn mening. De zijsporen leiden af van de hoofdzaak.

Eher 4,5 aber ich mag den Idealismus. Die Autorin behandelt ein großes Spektrum an Theorien und Ideen zu einer lebenswichtigen Thematik. Und unterhaltsam zu lesen ist es außerdem!

I think it's frankly stupid that a book written by a marginalized community uses slurs to marginalize the disabled community.

I feel fortunate to have received an advanced reader copy of this forthcoming book, Restoring the Kinship World View.
This book is precisely what we need right now. This information, graciously shared from the wisdom of Indigenous people, is too important not to be in everyone's hands.

I feel fortunate to have received an advanced reader copy of this forthcoming book, Restoring the Kinship World View.
This book is precisely what we need right now. This information, graciously shared from the wisdom of Indigenous people, is too important not to be in everyone's hands.

This quote is from the publisher's description of this book:

"Indigenous worldviews, and the knowledge they confer, are critical for human survival and the wellbeing of future generations. Editors Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows) and Darcia Narvaez present 28 powerful excerpted passages from Indigenous leaders, including Mourning Dove, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Winona LaDuke, and Xiuhtezcatl Martinez."

Each chapter of this book reflects the wisdom of the Indigenous worldview. Topics covered in the essays include: trusting the universe versus living in a fear-based culture, the laws of nature as a rule for living, learning to honor the earth as sacred, focusing on more than just self-gain, and recognizing the importance of generosity and the greater good and several more beneficial and critically important world views.

The essays underscore the importance of shifting away from living without a strong social purpose, and in a world that feels very "me-centric," this is refreshing. As a society, we need to recognize the interconnection between all living things and that it is all sacred. This shift in worldview requires us to use more than just our brain for processing information; we need to also listen to our hearts.

This is an important book that includes many important voices. This book would make a fantastic gift!

I guess I'm a little confused as to the purpose of this text. Each chapter starts with an excerpt or the full transcript of a speech or text from an Indigenous individual. What follows then is a quick biography of the individual using the above excerpt/text as a guiding point for what's important to understand. The next part is what confuses me the most: it is essentially the transcript of a podcast where the two writers Four Arrows and Darcia Narvaez discuss their thoughts and feelings regardin I guess I'm a little confused as to the purpose of this text. Each chapter starts with an excerpt or the full transcript of a speech or text from an Indigenous individual. What follows then is a quick biography of the individual using the above excerpt/text as a guiding point for what's important to understand. The next part is what confuses me the most: it is essentially the transcript of a podcast where the two writers Four Arrows and Darcia Narvaez discuss their thoughts and feelings regarding the piece.
My confusion lies in both the order (personally I found it more helpful to read the biographies before reading the excerpt or pieces) and also the commentary. I really enjoyed being introduced to a number of Indigenous individuals I had never heard of before and look forward to doing more research and reading the full texts/watching the full speeches. I just didn't get much value for the commentary or see the purpose/value of it. Perhaps this is my own misunderstanding of the purpose of this text. As an individual who doesn't know much about Indigenous individuals or worldviews this didn't seem like the best introductory text; more it seemed to be for those who have already done considerable study and are wanting to further their research and use scholars' commentary to further their own studies and writing.

Lastly, the inclusion of photos was excellent but it wasn't really explained the purpose. They were just there. And, for me, their inclusion didn't make sense.

I just cannot recommend this text.

I received this ARC from Netgalley.

If you are someone who knows we need a new path forward in the world but are uncertain of what it should look like or how we will get there this is the book for you. So many beautiful concepts shared that will help us move from the model of power over to empowerment.

"If diversity is a source of wonder, its opposite - the ubiquitous condensation to some blandly amorphous and singulary generic modern culture that takes for granted an impoverished environment - is a source of dismay. There is, indeed, a fire burning over the earth, taking with it plants and animals, cultures, languages, ancient skills and visionary wisdom.

"And I have felt A presence that disturbs me with the joy Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime Of something far more deeply interfused, Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, And the round ocean and the living air, And the blue sky, and in the mind of man; A motion and a spirit, that impels All thinking things, all objects of all thought, And rolls through all things.13"

"The Taoist Zhuangzi classic offers a fascinating story on this topic. A scholar named Zigong, while traveling, notices an old man working in a garden digging trenches, repeatedly going over to a well and returning with a jug full of water. "There's a machine," Zigong tells the farmer, "which could irrigate a hundred plots like yours in a day. Would you, good sir, like to try one?" The farmer shows some initial interest, and Zigong explains to him how it works. Suddenly, the farmer's face flushes, and he retorts: "I've heard that where there are machines, there are bound to be machine worries; where there are machine worries, there are bound to be machine hearts. With a machine heart in your breast, you've lost what was pure and simple; and the loss of the pure and simple leads to restlessness of the spirit. Where there is restlessness of the spirit, the Tao no longer dwells. It's not that I don't know about your machine-I would be ashamed to use it!" This colorful story highlights a deep-rooted mistrust of technology, driven not necessarily by a reactionary fear of change but by a worldview that values, above all else, harmonization with the Tao in all one's activities.30 This ingrained distrust of technology permeated the mind-set of traditional Chinese peasantry throughout its history."

I'm an environmentalist tree-hugger. It's what I do all day, every day. But this book was too woo-woo for me, if you know what I mean. I believe there are those of us, especially here in Portland that could band together to create Korten's "earth communities". But it's, sadly, going to take a major crisis like declining oil supply or other catastrophe to make it happen. And we're just as likely, given Americans' penchant for guns and self-centeredness, to devolve into Mad Max-style Darwinism.

There is so much to explore in this lush book by German biologist Andreas Weber. This book is deepening and confirming my intuitions about the world in ridiculously synchronistic ways. Weber creates a discipline called "poetic ecology" that aligns completely with the way I have been exploring the poetic in theatre. I need more time with this book to give it an annotation-or an essay-or several essays, that can truly do justice to the way it has resonated with my being!!!

Drawing upon deep understanding of indigenous traditions, Sand Talk contains the author's personal reflections on techniques for living and learning. When other (typically white) writers offer up this kind of content, it's usually packaged as self-help, memoir, or a blend of the two. Yunkaporta's approach is different, based on 'yarning' and, for me at least, this makes the material so much more accessible than those other genres.

"Research by Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman upends the idea that beliefs determine what we do or what we can do. It is the opposite. Beliefs do not change our actions. Actions change our beliefs."

"Too often, however, tree planting requires taking over land in the South to offset emissions created by a more affluent and industrialized North. In this sense, it is no different from prior colonization visited upon Africa, South America, and Asia over the centuries."

"All of this upends the usual story that we're told about the rise of capitalism. This was hardly a natural and inevitable process. There was no gradual 'transition', as people like to assume, and it certainly wasn't peaceful. Capitalism rose on the back of organised violence, mass impoverishment, and the systematic destruction of self-sufficient subsistence economies. It did not put an end to serfdom; rather, it put an end to the progressive revolution that had ended serfdom. Indeed, by securing virtually total control over the means of production, and rendering peasants and workers dependent on them for survival, capitalists took the principles of serfdom to new extremes."

"Societies with unequal income distribution tend to be less happy. There are a number of reasons for this. Inequality creates a sense of unfairness; it erodes social trust, cohesion and solidarity. It's also linked to poorer health, higher levels of crime and less social mobility. People who live in unequal societies tend to be more frustrated, anxious, insecure and discontent with their lives. They have higher rates of depression and addiction."
