contemporary urban foodscape all over the world, social scientists
have paid scant attention to this phenomenon. "Curried
Cultures"OCoa wide-ranging collection of essaysOCoexplores the
relationship between globalization and South Asia through food,
covering the cuisine of the colonial period to the contemporary
era, investigating its material and symbolic meanings. "Curried
Cultures" challenges disciplinary boundaries in considering South
Asian gastronomy by assuming a proximity to dishes and diets that
is often missing when food is a lens to investigate other topics.
The bookOCOs established scholarly contributors examine food to
comment on a range of cultural activities as they argue that the
practice of cooking and eating matter as an important way of
knowing the world and acting on it.
