Reviews

Following in the footsteps of recent critical work on food that focuses on the medieval and early modern periods by scholars such as Bynum, Freedman, Montanari, or Fern�ndez-Armesto, Montserrat Piera has assembled a remarkable and groundbreaking set of studies which elucidate 'the intersection of material and mental exchanges that surround food and how it establishes identities, defines groups, and brings about change and (r)evolution.' The thirteen chapters here provide a fresh analysis of the way food forges communities across lands and of the intersection of foodstuffs with politics, religion, economics and culture. --Antonio Cortijo Oca�a, University of California, Santa Barbara
