Sistah Vegan is a series of narratives, critical essays, poems, and reflections from a diverse community of North American black-identified vegans. Collectively, these activists are de-colonizing their bodies and minds via whole-foods veganism. By kicking junk-food habits, the more than thirty contributors all show the way toward longer, stronger, and healthier lives. Suffering from type-2 diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure, and overweight need not be the way women of color are doomed to be victimized and live out their mature lives. There are healthy alternatives.

Sistah Vegan is not about preaching veganism or vegan fundamentalism. Rather, the book is about how a group of black-identified female vegans perceive nutrition, food, ecological sustainability, health and healing, animal rights, parenting, social justice, spirituality, hair care, race, gender-identification, womanism, and liberation that all go against the (refined and bleached) grain of our dysfunctional society.

Thought-provoking for the identification and dismantling of environmental racism, ecological devastation, and other social injustices, Sistah Vegan is an in-your-face handbook for our time. It calls upon all of us to make radical changes for the betterment of ourselves, our planet, and―by extension―everyone.

About the Author:
A. Breeze Harper is the editor of Sistah Vegan: Black Women Speak on Food, Identity, Health, and Society, and a PhD candidate in critical food geographies at the University of California-Davis. She started The Sistah Vegan Project as an online forum that focuses on how plant-based consumptive lifestyle is affected by factors of race, racisms, sexism, heterosexism, classism, and other social injustices within the lives of black females.
Review:
These powerful voices of women form a mélange of voices that shape the black female vegan experience, addressing social, political, economic, racial, class, and gender issues—all against the backdrop of a vegan lifestyle. If you are what you eat, then these women are fibrous, upward reaching leafy greens, rooted firmly in the soil, growing against the grain.—Latham Thomas, founder, Tender Shoots Wellness
