Breeze Harper

Breeze Harper is the author of Sistah Vegan, a book that explores food politics, identity, sexuality, health, womanism, feminism, decolonization, anti-racism, eco-sustainability, and animal rights through the lens of the black female vegan experience in the USA. It is the first volume of its kind to address the racialized-sexualized-gendered vegan experience in the USA.

Aside from novel writing, Breeze's overall research interests are in Critical Geographies of Race & Food, with an emphasis on Critical Race studies, Feminism and Postcolonial theories. She specifically looks at alternative health and consumption philosophies of people in the United States.

Her current research is in investigating how black identified females

are applying meaning and value to health and nutrition
deal with racialized consciousness in terms of spatial knowledge production/power within the eco-sustainable food, holistic health and "cruelty-free" consumption movements in the United States and
perform and understand their sense of "blackness" and "liberation" through consumption (dietary and non-dietary)
