Foodways in Southern Oman examines the objects, practices and
beliefs relating to producing, obtaining, cooking, eating and
disposing of food in the Dhofar region of southern Oman. The
chapters consider food preparation, who makes what kind of food,
and how and when meals are eaten. Marielle Risse connects what is
consumed to themes such as land usage, gender, age, purity, privacy
and generosity. She also discusses how foodways are related to
issues of morality, safety, religion, and tourism. The volume is a
result of fourteen years of collecting data and insights in Dhofar,
covering topics such as catching fish, herding camels, growing
fruits, designing kitchens, cooking meals and setting leftovers out
for animals. It will be of interest to scholars from a range of
disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, food studies,
Middle Eastern studies and Islamic studies.
