The vibrant interest in food studies among both academics and
amateurs has made food history an exciting field of investigation.
Taking stock of three decades of groundbreaking multidisciplinary
research, the book examines two broad questions: What has history
contributed to the development of food studies? How have other
disciplines - sociology, anthropology, literary criticism, science,
art history - influenced writing on food history in terms of
approach, methodology, controversies, and knowledge of past
foodways? Essays by twelve prominent scholars provide a compendium
of global and multicultural answers to these questions. The
contributors critically assess food history writing in the United
States, Africa, Mexico and the Spanish Diaspora, India, the Ottoman
Empire, the Far East - China, Japan and Korea - Europe, Jewish
communities and the Middle East. Several historical eras are
covered: the Ancient World, the Middle Ages, Early Modern Europe
and the Modern day. The book is a unique addition to the growing
literature on food history. It is required reading for anyone
seeking a detailed discussion of food history research in diverse
times and places.
