Reviews

A critical contribution to its field, both in its individual arguments about literature and food and also in its modeling of a comparative methodology attuned to region, indigeneity, and global migration. --Catherine Keyser, author of Artificial Color: Modern Food and Racial Fictions --Catherine Keyser A refreshing and unique take on not only what cattle meant to settlers but also how cattle were used as instruments for developing notions of race and American identity. In an Anthony Bourdain-like journey across the country, this book gives you a sense of regional food history in America. You can really taste the food by the end. It is important for scholarship and historical understanding of the United States. --Karen Piper, author of The Price of Thirst: Global Water Inequality and the Coming Chaos --Karen Piper
