ABSTRACT
This chapter suggests that there are some historical and contemporary insights that we might take by including anarchism in our understanding of the history of social science and the sociology of food and ecology. It outlines some historical and contemporary examples of anarchist people, ideas, and events that we can productively draw from in discussions of intersectionality, food, and ecology. Conflict theory, by ignoring anarchism, has been missing a viable lens. Anarchism is a diverse set of ideas and practices centered on a critique of hierarchy, and the various conflicts those hierarchies produce. The possible anarchist historical contributions to our understandings of inequality, food, and ecology within conflict theory would be difficult to understate. Conflict theory's missing lens also gives us a number of useful tools for intersectional analysis. Anarchists have engaged contemporarily with a wide variety of forms of domination and perspectives that attempt to address those inequalities.
