Does Chinese food taste the same in different parts of the world?
What has happened to the Chinese diet in mainland China, Taiwan,
Hong Kong and Macau? What has affected the foodways of Chinese
communities in other Asian countries with large Chinese diasporic
communities? What has made Chinese food popular in Australia,
Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan? What has brought about the
adoption and adaptation of western food and changes in Chinese
diets in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Peking? By considering the practice
of globalization, this volume of essays by well-known
anthropologists from many locales in Asia, describes changes,
variations and innovations to Chinese food in many parts of the
world, paying particular attention to questions related to how
foods are introduced, maintained, localised and reinvented
according to changing lifestyles and social tastes. The book
reviews and broadens classic social science theories about ethnic
and social identity formation through the examination of Chinese
food and eating habits in many locations. It reveals surprising
changes and provides a powerful testimony to the impact of late
twentieth-century globalization.
