Literary and Cultural Production, World-Ecology, and the Global
Food System marks a significant intervention into the field of
literary food studies. Drawing on new work in world literature,
cultural studies, and environmental studies, the essays gathered
here explore how literary and cultural texts have represented and
responded to the global food system from the late nineteenth
century to the present day. Covering topics such as the impact of
colonial monocultures and industrial agriculture, enclosure and the
loss of the commons, the meatification of diets, the toxification
of landscapes, and the consequences of climate breakdown, the
volume ranges across the globe, from Thailand to Brazil, Cyprus to
the Caribbean. Whether it is anxieties over imported meat in late
Victorian Britain, labour struggles on Guatemalan banana
plantations, or food dependency in Puerto Rico, the contributors to
this volume show how fiction, poetry, drama, film, and music have
critically explored and contributed to food cultures worldwide.
