The Cultural Politics of Food and Eating: A Reader Hardcover - 2005 - 1st Edition
by James L. Watson (Editor); Melissa L. Caldwell (Editor)
From the publisher
First line
Since the early 1990s, the study of food has moved from the margins to the center of intellectual discourse in the English-speaking world.
From the rear cover
Food is an important and endlessly fascinating lens for social and cultural analysis -not only for anthropologists, but also for scholars of history, literature, cultural studies, political economy, and public policy. The subject is a central idiom for understanding cultural practices and for teaching about culture on many levels. The Cultural Politics of Food and Eating is a collection of readings that uses the study of food as a vehicle for addressing broad themes that are emerging in social anthropology: globalization, capitalism, market economies, and consumption practices.
The Cultural Politics of Food and Eating offers an ethnographically informed perspective on the ways in which people use food to make sense of life in an increasingly interconnected world. It includes studies from eleven countries across five continents on such hot topics as sushi, fast food, gourmet foods, and food scares and contamination.
