"Once the third largest salmon-producing stream in the Western United States, the
Klamath River has, as of 2014, fallen to only 4% of its previous productivity. This
gives the once wealthy Karuk Tribe the dubious honor of having one of the most dramatic
and recent diet shifts in North America. Unable to fulfill their traditional fishermen
roles, Karuk people are now among the most impoverished in the state. In Salmon and
Acorns Feed Our People, noted environmental sociologist Kari Norgaard investigates
how their inability to fish affected the sense of identity and self-esteem of Karuk
men. How does environmental degradation inscribe racialized power relations or do
the work of colonial violence?Salmon and Acorns Feed Our People tells a story set
in the cultural and political experiences of the Karuk Tribe, while expanding theoretical
conversations on health, identity, food, race, and gender that preoccupy many disciplines
today" ; "How does environmental degradation inscribe racialized power relations,
advance assimilation and genocide or do the work of colonial violence? Salmon Feeds
Our People tells a story that is set in the cultural and political experiences of
the Karuk Tribe, while expanding theoretical conversations on health, identity, food,
race, and gender that are at the center of conversations in multiple disciplines both
inside and outside the academy today"
