Reviews
With both insight and a point of view, Alistair Fraser provides a highly readable and informative primer to the world of food, from seed to bodily metabolism. Going beyond the usual treatise on the big, bad food system, and the anger it engenders, the author includes examples of resistance, designed to inspire hope, as well. Students will love its clarity and accessible prose; instructors will love its breadth and teachable organization. Julie Guthman, Professor of Social Sciences, University of California at Santa Cruz, USA Alistair Fraser captures the layered, deeply social, and always contested nature of what and how we eat. Written in a style that is provocative and playful, Global Foodscapes critiques food worlds while giving equal attention to spaces of resistance, thus giving readers hope for the future. Michael S. Carolan, Professor and Chair, Department of Sociology, Colorado State University, USA.
