Recenzii

The volume's greatest strength is, perhaps, that it is forward looking, and thus very useful for defining a set of issues that are likely to occupy anthropological research for years to come ... For food scholars, the "Handbook" is a must-read.
The Handbook of Food and Anthropology offers a wealth of information presented in an accessible form that is ideal for a broad audience, from undergraduates to graduates alike. This volume is an important and timely work that will prove to be a useful reference to food-focused scholars now and in the future.
Jakob Klein and James Watson bring together a welcome addition to the world of food studies in their new book The Handbook of Food and Anthropology. The book provides an insightful reference for anthropology and food studies scholars because of its attention to social and cultural contexts and rich ethnographic accounts [...]
An excellent collection that would make Goody and Mintz, to whom the book is dedicated, proud.
Comprehensive and thorough, this collection is an essential reference for any anthropologist working on food. It opens a door into the breadth and richness of a disciplines engagement with food, both a basic human need and a source of pleasure. This book is a solid foundation for both newcomers to the field, and veteran investigators.
This book confirms the fundamental contribution that anthropologists have made to the study of food, culture and society. With research extending from kinship and commensality to novel work on corporate ethnography and bioengineering, this collection makes a compelling case for the anthropological study of food and modern life.
At last, a handbook that reflects the emergence and importance of the study of food as a core feature of twenty-first century anthropology. Embracing environmental subjects, transnational business, globalism, policy and practice, it serves up the penetrating insights into everyday life that are anthropology's traditional speciality while looking ahead to the transdisciplinary future of food. Truly, a feast.
A well-balanced and creatively prepared selection of essays, this book reveals that understanding food, now more than ever, requires attention to the scientific possibilities, political promises, and ethical concerns entangled with nutrition, taste, and hunger. It represents the best current work in this field, helping us think about how to provision this hungry planet safely and equitably.
