Colonization is central in Patel's analysis, with class being one of the big driving forces for colonialism, but also a central factor in food justice issues.
Sex and race are more incidental to Patel's analysis -- basically, Patel inserts notes that race or sex comes into play in this part of the discussion in a particular way. So race and sex aren't treated extensively, but he does give info that they do come into play, and (if you go into the endnotes) there are resources which expand upon that particular item.
