In recent years, Peru has transformed from a war-torn country to a
global high-end culinary destination. Connecting chefs, state
agencies, global capital, and Indigenous producers, this
"gastronomic revolution" makes powerful claims: food unites
Peruvians, dissolves racial antagonisms, and fuels development.
Gastropolitics and the Specter of Race critically evaluates these
claims and tracks the emergence of Peruvian gastropolitics, a
biopolitical and aesthetic set of practices that reinscribe
dominant racial and gendered orders. Through critical readings of
high-end menus and ethnographic analysis of culinary festivals,
guinea pig production, and national-branding campaigns, this work
explores the intersections of race, species, and capital to reveal
links between gastronomy and violence in Peru.
