Abstract
In this interview chapter, Malik Yakini, executive director of the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network (DBCFSN) discusses issues of food security and food sovereignty in Detroit. DBCFSN was formed in 2006 in order to address food insecurity among Detroit’s African-American community and to organize members of that community to play a more active role in local food security and food sovereignty. Yakini discusses the general food context in Detroit and why organisations such as his are necessary in the city. He also reflects on the ways in which Detroit has been represented and how gentrification is changing the perceptions of the city. He is critical of the racial implications of gentrification in Greater Downtown Detroit and what this means for the city’s African American community.
