In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, working-class
Americans had eating habits that were distinctly shaped by jobs,
families, neighborhoods, and the tools, utilities, and size of
their kitchens--along with their cultural heritage. How the Other
Half Ate is a deep exploration by historian and lecturer Katherine
Turner that delivers an unprecedented and thoroughly researched
study of the changing food landscape in American working-class
families from industrialization through the 1950s. Relevant to
readers across a range of disciplines--history, economics,
sociology, urban studies, women's studies, and food studies--this
work fills an important gap in historical literature by
illustrating how families experienced food and cooking during the
so-called age of abundance. Turner delivers an engaging portrait
that shows how America's working class, in a multitude of ways, has
shaped the foods we eat today.
