At a time when the relationship between 'the country' and 'the
city' is in flux worldwide, the value and meanings of food
associated with both places continue to be debated. Building upon
the foundation of Raymond Williams' classic work, The Country and
the City, this volume examines how conceptions of the country and
the city invoked in relation to food not only reflect their
changing relationship but have also been used to alter the very
dynamics through which countryside and cities, and the food grown
and eaten within them, are produced and sustained. Leading scholars
in the study of food offer ethnographic studies of peasant
homesteads, family farms, community gardens, state food industries,
transnational supermarkets, planning offices, tourist boards, and
government ministries in locales across the globe. This fascinating
collection provides vital new insight into the contested dynamics
of food and will be key reading for upper-level students and
scholars of food studies, anthropology, history and geography.
