Reviews
'This is a deeply rewarding collection of articles and insights. It reflects and draws brilliantly on contemporary social science's welcome return of interest to the subject of food.' Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy, City University, London 'A refreshingly dispassionate look at politically explosive issues of risk, rights, identity, trade, globalization, and security. Avoiding polemics and advocacy, this collection offers clear and insightful analysis of how modern food problems are constructed and contested.' Warren Belasco, Editor of Food, Culture and Society, University of Maryland. 'The Politics of Food concretely demonstrates that local contexts do, in fact, shape larger settings, even as governments, corporations, social movements, and other institutions define the moral grounds of culture. Mapping social connections across a variety of sites, this book deepens our understanding of how food practices shape the human landscape.' Alice Julier, Smith College and Presiden
