This collection of scholarly essays presents new work from an
emerging line of inquiry: modern outlaw narratives and the textual
and cultural relevance of food and feasting. Food, its preparation
and its consumption, is presented in outlaw narratives as central
points of human interaction, community, conflict, and fellowship.
Feast scenes perform a wide variety of functions, serving as
cultural repositories of manners and behaviors, catalysts for
adventure, or moments of regrouping and redirecting narratives. The
book argues that modern outlaw narratives illuminate a potent
cross-cultural need for freedom, solidarity, and justice, and it
examines ways in which food and feasting are often used to
legitimate difference, create discord, and manipulate power
dynamics.
