From multidisciplinary perspectives, this volume explores the roles
mothers play in the producing, purchasing, preparing and serving of
food to their own families and to their communities in a variety of
contexts. By examining cultural representations of the
relationships between feeding and parenting in diverse media and
situations, these contributions highlight the tensions in which
mothers get entangled. They show mothers' agency - or lack thereof
- in negotiating the environmental, material, and economic reality
of their feeding care work while upholding other ideals of taste,
nutrition, health and fitness shaped by cultural norms. The
contributors to Mothers and Food go beyond the normative discourses
of health and nutrition experts and beyond the idealistic images
that are part of marketing strategies. They explore what really
drives mothers to maintain or change their family's foodways, for
better or for worse, paying a particular attention to how this
shapes their maternal identity. Questioning the motto according to
which "people are what they eat," the chapters in this volume show
that mothers cannot be categorized simply by how they feed
themselves and their family.
