Recenzii
A dynamite collection that brings together cutting-edge scholarship from leading figures working in food studies and anthropology.
With an introduction that synthesizes compelling themes connecting anthropology to political economy, science and technology studies, and ontological concerns, this book speaks to a range of scholars in many fields.
This collection of case studies from across the world offers a provocative unsettling of what we think food is. Why Food Matters takes food studies exactly where it needs to go at a critical inflection point for the field itself.
