Other Avenues are Possible offers a vivid account of the dramatic rise and fall of the San Francisco People's Food System of the 1970s. Weaving new interviews, historical research and the author's personal story as a longstanding co-op member, the book captures the excitement of a growing radical social movement along with the struggles, heart-breaking defeats and eventual resurgence of today's thriving network of Bay Area cooperatives, the greatest concentration of co-ops anywhere in the country.
