If our understanding of Canadian food is shaped by regional variation and local ingredients, its fullest expression comes at the scale of the neighbourhood. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEating the Urban Wild\u003c\/i\u003e leads readers on an unconventional food tour through the wild corners and everyday streets of Montreal. Natalie Doonan reimagines what it means to eat locally, inviting us to experience food not as the consumption of a single dish but as part of a vibrant, entangled ecosystem. From waterfowl hunting on the Lachine Rapids and sturgeon fishing in Lake Saint-Louis to Verdun's cooperative gardens and aquaponics initiative, beekeeping, community cooking classes, independent grocers, and even fast-food restaurants, this work brims with sensory detail. We hear the voices of hunters, fishers, foragers, biologists, and the author's own family and friends - all of whom reveal unexpected ways of relating to food. From these neighbourhood practices emerges a broader political and ecological resonance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAgainst the backdrop of colonial capitalism, ecological degradation, and accelerating extinction, \u003ci\u003eEating the Urban Wild\u003c\/i\u003e highlights communal efforts to cultivate biodiversity and imagines systems beyond extractive and industrial models, positioning food not as commodity but as relation. Poetic and intellectually rigorous, this work frames eating as communication across boundaries: between humans, animals, landscapes, and even the divine.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatalie Doonan is associate professor in the Department of Communication at l'Université de Montréal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 28, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48757402730745,"sku":"9780228027966","price":40.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/d1d_fE4MVT9780228027966.webp?v=1785946468","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/eating-the-urban-wild-food-and-foraging-in-montreal-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
