In this book, Alex Rhys-Taylor offers a ground-breaking sensory
ethnography of East London. Drawing on the multicultural context of
London, one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, he
explores concepts such as gentrification, class antagonism, new
ethnicities and globalization. Rhys-Taylor shows how London is
characterized by its rich history of socioeconomic change and
multiculture, exploring how its smells and food are integral to
understanding both its history and the reality of London's urban
present. From the fiery chillies sold by street grocers which are
linked to years of cultural exchange, through 'cuisines of origin'
like jellied eels to hybridized dishes such as the chicken katsu
wrap, sensory experiences are key to understanding the complex
cultural genealogies of the city and its social life.Each of the
eight chapters combines micro histories of ingredients such as
fried chicken, bush-meat and curry sauce, featuring narratives from
individuals that provide a unique, engaging account of the
evolution of taste and culture through time and space.With its
innovative methodology, this is a highly original contribution to
the fields of sensory studies, food studies, urban studies and
cultural studies.
