This popular and engaging text, now revised in a second edition,
offers readers a social perspective on food, food practices, and
the modern food system. It engages readers' curiosity by
highlighting several paradoxes: how food is both individual and
social, reveals both distinction and conformity, and, in the
contemporary global era, comes from everywhere but nowhere in
particular. With updates and enhancements throughout, the new
edition provides an empirically deep, multifaceted, and coherent
introduction to this fascinating field. Each chapter begins with a
vivid case study, proceeds through a rich discussion of research
insights, and ends with discussion questions and suggested
resources. Chapter topics include food's role in socialization,
identity, health and social change, as well as food marketing and
the changing global food system. The new edition gives more focused
attention to labor (both paid and unpaid) in all aspects of the
food system. In synthesizing insights from diverse fields of social
inquiry, the book addresses issues of culture, structure, and
social inequality throughout. Written in a lively style, this book
will continue to be both accessible and revealing to beginning and
intermediate students alike.
