Drawing on ethnography conducted in Israel since the late 1990s,
Food and Power considers how power is produced, reproduced,
negotiated, and subverted in the contemporary Israeli culinary
sphere. Nir Avieli explores issues such as the definition of
Israeli cuisine, the ownership of hummus, the privatization of
communal Kibbutz dining rooms, and food at a military prison for
Palestinian detainees to show how cooking and eating create
ambivalence concerning questions of strength and weakness and how
power and victimization are mixed into a sense of
self-justification that maintains internal cohesion among Israeli
Jews.
