The Cultural Politics of Food, Taste, and Identity examines the
social, cultural, and political processes that shape the experience
of taste. The book positions flavor as involving all the senses,
and describes the multiple ways in which taste becomes tied to
local, translocal, glocal, and cosmopolitan politics of identity.
Global case studies are included from Japan, China, India, Belize,
Chile, Guatemala, the United States, France, Italy, Poland and
Spain. Chapters examine local responses to industrialized food and
the heritage industry, and look at how professional culinary
practice has become foundational for local identities. The book
also discusses the unfolding construction of "local taste" in the
context of sociocultural developments, and addresses how cultural
political divides are created between meat consumption and
vegetarianism, innovation and tradition, heritage and social class,
popular food and authenticity, and street and restaurant food. In
addition, contributors discuss how different food products-such as
kimchi, quinoa, and Soylent-have entered the international market
of industrial and heritage foods, connecting different places and
shaping taste and political identities.
