Reviews

Food also allows her to ask how cooking, selling, and writing about food might tell stories about identity, regionality, and nationality that disrupts each of these categories ... By thinking through the function and provenance of eponymous dishes, Brazilian Food interrogates how food might carry traces of its temporal, spatial, ethnic, and regional history. For Fajans, it is the very kinds of power that food animates that makes it so incredibly good to think with. -- Simrat King, University of Minnesota Allegra Laboratory
