- "Liza Grandia expertly weaves together ethnographic narrative, Maya agricultural knowledge, and legal sleuthing to shine light on maize- and seed-related activism in the face of transnational corporate incursion. She invites activists and scholars alike to consider food politics as a hemispheric and even global issue of equity and sustainability rather than personal choices affecting localized health and environmental outcomes"-- Provided by publisher.
