"A major step forward in the historiography of food movements in America. Food historians, environmental historians, historians of social movements, and scholars interested in identity creation will appreciate O'Sullivan's work."--American Historical Review
"Encyclopedic in its detail, O'Sullivan's book is the most comprehensive scholarly treatment of the organic trend to date."--Environmental History
"This historical analysis of the American organic movement provides a new critical paradigm to tackle the complexity of what is at stake within organic farming, gardening, shopping, and eating decisions in terms of health, food justice, and environmental sustainability."--Annals of Iowa
"This kind of scholarship focusing on the intellectual influences of environmental movements is needed as American consumers increasingly demand organic and more 'natural' products."--H-Net Reviews
"A readable, in-depth, often entertaining treatise on the history of the organic movement in the US."--Choice
"The author paints a colorful picture of where organics has come from and where it is going. Readers will enjoy this comprehensive book on organic food that explains how it has gone from being ridiculed to wildly popular--and grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry."--Leslie A. Duram, author of Good Growing: Why Organic Farming Works
"O'Sullivan dissects the power of government, agribusiness, chemical manufacturers, homesteaders, and foodies themselves to reveal how the organics movement has been swayed by market pressures and demands."--Margaret Gray, author of Labor and the Locavore: The Making of a Comprehensive Food Ethic
"American Organic helps explain modern longings for things artisanal, local, simple and untainted while thoughtfully analyzing a critical mode of production, marketing and consumption."--Andrew Kirk, author of Counterculture Green: The Whole Earth Catalog and American Environmentalism
