The Routledge History of American Foodways: Routledge Histories

Editat de Michael D. Wise, Jennifer Jensen Wallach
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 ian 2018
The Routledge History of American Foodways provides an important overview of the main themes surrounding the history of food in the Americas from the pre-colonial era to the present day. By broadly incorporating the latest food studies research, the book explores the major advances that have taken place in the past few decades in this crucial field.
The volume is composed of four parts. The first part explores the significant developments in US food history in one of five time periods to situate the topical and thematic chapters to follow. The second part examines the key ingredients in the American diet throughout time, allowing authors to analyze many of these foods as items that originated in or dramatically impacted the Americas as a whole, and not just the United States. The third part focuses on how these ingredients have been transformed into foods identified with the American diet, and on how Americans have produced and presented these foods over the last four centuries. The final section explores how food practices are a means of embodying ideas about identity, showing how food choices, preferences, and stereotypes have been used to create and maintain ideas of difference.
Including essays on all the key topics and issues, The Routledge History of American Foodways comprises work from a leading group of scholars and presents a comprehensive survey of the current state of the field. It will be essential reading for all those interested in the history of food in American culture.

Recenzii

"The Routledge History of American Foodways is essential reading for readers of both the American experience and its complex regional and national food cultures.In this foundational work, editors Jennifer Jensen Wallach and Michael Wise bring together a powerhouse of thinkers to decode the fascinating intersection of food and American history from the continent’s first hunters and gatherers to today’s contemporary food activists. Here we uncover the essence of what it means to be American through our shared and contested food choices."
