ABSTRACTHow did Haiti, where peanuts were once a staple crop often grown, traded, processed and shared by women, reach its contemporary food crisis, when some mothers must feed their children a diet of donated peanut‐based nutritional supplements to keep them alive? Case studies of peanuts as food aid in Haiti reveal the ways neoliberalism and disaster capitalism stymie women's embodied sovereignty. This article uses the concept of embodied sovereignty to build on food sovereignty literature, enabling a sharper focus on the bodies that produce, process, feed and eat food, as well as the historical production of gendered food responsibilities, and the life‐and‐death stakes of sovereign power.

Official categories imposed by the state shape religious & caste identities but do not determine them. Various protest groups in India are challenging the classifications of citizens used to implement preferential policies, known as reservations, for disadvantaged or "backward" groups. Muslim & Christian demands to be included in the officially backward categories have sparked dissent within these minority communities. The resulting controversies over who should be allowed to become backward illustrate ongoing political constructions of religious, caste, & national identities. India's cross-cutting identities lead to frequent disagreements over group-based policies, but competing demands may also prevent the reification of state categories & the dangers of dichotomised conflict.
