Control and Resistance reveals the various ways in which food
writing of the early Franco era was a potent political tool,
producing ways of eating and thinking about food that privileged
patriotism over personal desire. The author examines a diverse
range of official and non-official food texts to highlight how
discourse helped construct and contest identities in line with the
three ideological pillars of the regime: autarky, prescriptive
gender roles, and monolithic nationalism. Official food discourse
produced an audience with a taste for local foodstuffs, and also
created a unified gastronomic space in which regional cuisines were
co-opted for the purposes of culinary nationalism. The author
discusses a genre of official texts directed solely at women, which
demanded women's compliance and exclusive dedication to
domesticity. Alongside such examples, Control and Resistance
includes texts that offered resistance to the Franco hegemony. Food
texts have traditionally been viewed as apolitical because of their
connections with domesticity, so they were not subject to the same
degree of censorship as other published works. Accordingly, food
writing was at times more capable of offering disruptive or
resistant textual spaces than other forms of discourse.
