Recenzii

Food is everywhere in popular culture, and this is an exemplary collection that helps us study that phenomenon critically as the product of subordinated peoples that nevertheless might serve the interest of the dominant classes. This handbook provides refreshing new tools, concepts and instances of that dialectic. It is exceptional in providing breadth and depth in comparative global perspective.
The editors of this volume could not have done better in bringing together such a luminary cast of influential scholars on the topic. This exciting collection is essential reading for anyone interested in two of life's fundamental pursuits: food, and how we frame what we put in our bodies.
Given the prominence of food in popular discourse of recent decades, this solid collection is a welcome addition to the food studies literature. A remarkable cast of contributors offers concise discussions of topics including traditional and emerging media, restaurants, street food and home cooking, patterns of consumption across age, gender, class and race, to food issues such as nutrition, advocacy and waste.
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Popular Culture and Food underscores the serious and often determinant role that culture, in its most broadly accessible form, plays in establishing hierarchies of people, resources, and ideas, affecting all manner of social life. LeBesco and Naccarato provide the scaffolding of clearly linked sections, from media to materiality and aesthetics to arguments, creating a manageable resource for all. All the articles offer historical contexts for the emergence of food phenomena without reducing the popular to the ephemeral.
LeBesco and Naccarato (both, Marymount Manhattan College) assembled a dream team of food and culture scholars for this definitive handbook on the topic. Valuable as a classroom reader and for scholars new to the field, this is a welcome multivoice complement to the groundbreaking Bite Me: Food in Popular Culture, by Fabio Parasecoli, who is one of the contributors to the present volume. Summing Up: Essential. All readers.
