By documenting, analyzing and interpreting the transformations in
the local diets of Asian peoples since 1900, this volume tries aims
to pinpoint the consequences of the tension between homogenization
and cultural heterogenization, which is so characteristic for
modern global interaction. By focussing on Asian foodways, the
contributors demonstrate how the local and the global forces
negotiate new hybrid lifestyles, how new commodities become
embedded in new cultures and how new identities are embraced
through the acceptance and rejection of new forms of consumption.
