Sustainable Community Movement Organizations: Solidarity Economies and Rhizomatic Practices

Abstract

the subtitle promises, a sampling “of small plates,” seduction by the choice morsel, and astonishment over the new, the rare, the tasty. Overall, it is a lovely book, a small Gesamtkunstwerk of artistic and aesthetic genres and their sensory as well as sensuous and sensual underpinnings, the machinery of our bodies, here specifically the sense of taste, always synesthetically networked. It is both learned and light, personal and general, experiential and analytical but mostly wears its wisdom lightly. It is an exemplar of the genre of sensuous and sensory writing.
