The vibrant interest in food studies among both academics and
amateurs has made food history an exciting field of investigation.
Taking stock after 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.
