Mamaliga, maize porridge or polenta, is a universally consumed dish
in Romania and a prominent national symbol. But its unusual history
has rarely been told. Alex Drace-Francis surveys the arrival and
spread of maize cultivation in Romanian lands from Ottoman times to
the eve of the First World War, and also the image of mamaliga in
art and popular culture. Drawing on a rich array of sources and
with many new findings, Drace-Francis shows how the making of
mamaliga has been shaped by global economic forces and overlapping
imperial systems of war and trade. The story of maize and mamaliga
provides an accessible way to revisit many key questions of
Romanian and broader regional history. More generally, the book
links the history of production, consumption, and representation.
Analyses of recipes, literary and popular depictions, and key
vocabulary complete the work.
