This book explores the emergent relationship between food and
family in contemporary China through an empirical case study of
Guangzhou, a typical city, to understand the texture of everyday
life in the new consumerist society. The primary focus of this book
is on the family dynamics of middle-income households in Guangzhou,
where everyday food practices, including growing food, shopping,
storing, cooking, feeding, and eating, play a pivotal role. The
book aims to conduct a comprehensive and integrated analysis of
themes such as material and emotional domestic cultures, family
relationships, and social connections between the domestic and the
public, based on a discussion of family food practices. These
topics will not only offer academic readers a full understanding of
the most innovative recent critical engagements with urban Chinese
families but also provide more general readers with a broader view
of food consumption patterns within the scope of domestic and
family issues. This book will be of interest to sociologists,
anthropologists, and human geographers as well as post graduate
students who are interested in food studies and Chinese studies.
