In recent years, food studies scholarship has tended to focus on a
number of increasingly abstract, largely unquestioned concepts with
regard to how capital, markets and states organize and operate.
This has led to a gulf between public policy and people's realities
with food as experienced in homes and on the streets. Through
grounded case studies in seven Latin American countries, this book
explores how development and social change in food and agriculture
are fundamentally experiential, contingent and unpredictable. In
viewing development in food as a socio-political-material
experience, the authors find new objects, intersubjectivities and
associations. These reveal a multiplicity of processes, effects and
affects largely absent in current academic literature and public
policy debates. In their attention to the contingency and
creativity found in households, neighbourhoods and social networks,
as well as at the borders of human-nonhuman experience, the book
explores how people diversely meet their food needs and passions
while confronting the region's most pressing social, health and
environmental concerns.
