“Mackall explores this paradox with rare honesty and insight . . . Another
strength of the book is that while maintaining a personal narrative voice,
Mackall folds in a succinct and engaging history of the Anabaptist religious
tradition and the polity of the Amish church. This added context greatly enhances
the more personal stories.”

Closing the
Food Gap, Mark Winne, January 2008, cloth, $23.95, 978-0-8070-4730-9
“Closing the Food Gap is a deeply moving account of Mark Winne’s
long career as an advocate for policies that will ensure adequate nutrition
for the poor. Reading this book should make everyone want to advocate for
food systems that will feed the hungry, support local farmers, and promote
community democracy—all at the same time. I want all my students to read
this beautifully written and important book.”
— Marion Nestle, Paulette Goddard professor of nutrition, food studies,
and public health at New York University, and author of Food Politics
and What to Eat
“Mark Winne tackles the world of food deserts, hunger relief and the
disparities of the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ from both a
personal and professional viewpoint that at once educates on and illuminates
these very complicated issues. Winne makes these issues and their interrelationships
not only understandable but also compelling for all those who care about social
justice in our country.”
— Chef Ann Cooper, author of Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed
