Food Television and Otherness in the Age of Globalization examines
the growing popularity of food and travel television and its
implications for how we understand the relationship between food,
place, and identity. Attending to programs such as Bizarre Foods,
Bizarre Foods America, The Pioneer Woman, Diners, Drive-Ins, and
Dives, Man vs. Food, and No Reservations, Casey Ryan Kelly
critically examines the emerging rhetoric of culinary television,
attending to how American audiences are invited to understand the
cultural and economic significance of global foodways. This book
shows how food television exoticizes foreign cultures, erases
global poverty, and contributes to myths of American
exceptionalism. It takes television seriously as a site for the
reproduction of cultural and economic mythology where
representations of food and consumption become the commonsense of
cultural difference and economic success.
