This text provides a comprehensive and critical exploration of food
from the unique perspective of place. It shows that our experiences
with food are deeply influenced by their cultural, social,
economic, and political contexts. The authors explore a wide range
of questions such as: Do GMOs threaten rural livelihoods? Why don't
we eat dogs? Does your neighborhood make you fat? Do community
gardens encourage urban gentrification? Can cheese save a local
economy? Why are gourmet burgers appearing on menus all over the
world? How do immigrants use food to create a sense of place? Does
mainstream nutrition stigmatize bodies? Is the kitchen an
oppressive place? Can celebrity chefs change the food system?
Critically engaged and connected to current activist and academic
debates, Food and Place will be an essential resource for students
across the social sciences.
