Food in World History
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-35149-0 (ISBN)
It examines the long history of globalization of foods as well as the political, social, and environmental implications of our changing relationship with food, showing how hunger and taste have been driving forces in human history. Including numerous case studies from diverse societies and periods, such as Maya and Inca cuisines and peasant agriculture in the early modern era, Food in World History explores such questions as:
What social factors have historically influenced culinary globalization?
How did early modern plantations establish patterns for modern industrial food production?
How will the climate crisis affect food production and culinary cultures?
Did Italian and Chinese migrant cooks sacrifice authenticity to gain social acceptance in the Americas?
Have genetically modified foods fulfilled the promises made by proponents?
With the inclusion of more global examples, this comprehensive survey is an ideal resource for all students who study food history or food studies.
