Abstract
Through personal interviews and analysis, this thesis examines the impact of community involvement and anti-oppression collaboration on the food justice movement in Ithaca, New York. It analyses published work on race and power dynamics, and the role communities play in environmental justice. This thesis concludes that while a certain degree of social inequality and disparity exists within the Ithaca food movement, it can be resisted through intentional engagement of disenfranchised communities by locally organized grassroots initiatives and programs, and increased collaboration between these initiatives and programs.
