Recenzii
An informative starting place for...renewed interested in food studies in the Islamic world.... The authors' focus on the present-day 'halal revolution' is the overarching strength of this book.... Halal Food: A History combines exegesis and economics in order to deliver a fresh take on Muslim politics in the modem world.
A lucid, judicious survey of the foods deemed halal (permissible) in the Islamic tradition ranging from the original religious texts to adaptations to contemporary business, gastronomic, and government involvement in different parts of the globe. Timely and much needed.
We have waited a long time for a book that approaches halal food with breadth and depth, and Armanios and Ergene masterfully and creatively deliver both. This is the first book that not only introduces readers to all the dimensions of halal food but also delves into its finer distinctions. It speaks to both newcomers to the field and experts alike--a very impressive achievement.
Halal Food admirably fills a lacuna in our understanding of the concepts ofhalal(permitted) and haram(forbidden) foods in Islamic law. Its breadth ranges wide and deep into the politico-cultural and economic implications of halal food for the world's Muslims. It is rigorous and comprehensive and delightfully readable by the non-scholar and fascinating for the non-Muslim.
In this lively, engaging, and rigorously researched book, Fe be Armanios and Bogac Ergene consider how Muslims have historically understood 'halal'--meaning what is permissible according to Islamic law and custom, especially in food--and also, what is 'tayyib'--meaning good and wholesome. Taking their study ofhalalinto the early twenty-first century, they show how debates have intensified among Muslims as countries have bureaucratized food regulations; as consumers have become more eager to maintain or assert religious identities; and as rates of meat consumption have increased along with global food imports. With its forays into past history and present-day politics, this fascinating book will stimulate discussion in classrooms and mosques, and around kitchen tables, while appealing to readers who are curious about the ethics of food.
An understanding of the ideation of halal is probably not something picked up at Halal Guys or some other street-food vendor... .This new book by a couple of American scholars covers the subject broadly, beyond just food - the term applies to anything that is lawful or legitimate under Islamic law. The authors address slaughtering methods, ingredients in processed foods, alcohol, the global food trade (halal chickens from Brazil are shipped to the Middle East), food in public settings like schools, the growth in certifying agencies, and how it all relates to the Quran.
A timely, comprehensive, and thoroughly researched information on all things halal... .The book is scholarly in its depth and sources but easy to understand in its straightforward writing style. Though billed as a history, it is also an invaluable guide for anyone who wants to follow-or know more about-increasingly complex halal traditions, which changed as Islam spread and encountered new cuisines....Armanios and Ergene's Halal Food: A History is a major addition to food studies, historic as well as contemporary.
An excellent overview of halal that is largely missing in the current discourse and makes an excellent addition to food studies collections.
An excellent overview of halal food .... The authors have set a new standard for thoughtful, clear, and constructive scholarship on this important and relevant topic... .A seminal work that is appropriate both for academics and for students ... [that] will also be of interest to companies seeking halal certification ... [and] to state, as well as nonstate, halal certification bodies and policymakers.
