The popularity of “food sovereignty” to cover a range of positions, interventions and struggles within the food system is a testament to the adaptability of the term. Food sovereignty is primarily, but not exclusively, about groups of people making their own decisions about the food system – it`s a way of talking about a theoretically informed practice of the food system. Given that people are different, we should expect decisions on food sovereignty to be different in different contexts, albeit in accordance with a set of core principles (including women`s rights, a common rejection of GM crops, and calls to remove agriculture from existing international trade agreements). In this article, we examine the analytical sticking points in the application of food sovereignty ideas in the context of Indigenous struggles in North America. This, in our view, helps clarify one of the central issues of food sovereignty: that it is a continuation of anti-colonial struggles, even in postcolonial contexts. Such a study has benefits for both food sovereignty scholars and Indigenous politics: by helping to problematize notions of food sovereignty and post-coloniality, but also by asking gender-specific questions for Indigenous struggles.

For some, the problem with the dominance of instrumental rationality is the tendency towards anomie. However, this ignores the instrumental use of norms by elite groups to manipulate public opinion. Such manipulation can then allow elite groups to treat citizens as a means to pursue their own interests. Horkheimer was one of the first to recognize the problem in this form, but could not offer a solution because he understood citizens as passive. In contrast, Dewey argued that active citizenship values participation in public life as inherently good. This has to do with his conception of democracy as an ethical way of life, which offers the possibility of overcoming the domination of instrumental rationality. This article discusses Dewey`s solution to the problem in light of the weaknesses attributed here to Horkheimer and the subsequent developments of Bellah, Bernstein, Gellner, Habermas, and Honneth.
