Current discussions of the ethics around alternative food
movements--concepts such as "local," "organic," and "fair
trade"--tend to focus on their growth and significance in advanced
capitalist societies. In this groundbreaking contribution to
critical food studies, editors Yuson Jung, Jakob A. Klein, and
Melissa L. Caldwell explore what constitutes "ethical food" and
"ethical eating" in socialist and formerly socialist societies.
With essays by anthropologists, sociologists, and geographers, this
politically nuanced volume offers insight into the origins of
alternative food movements and their place in today's global
economy. Collectively, the essays cover discourses on food and
morality; the material and social practices surrounding production,
trade, and consumption; and the political and economic power of
social movements in Bulgaria, China, Cuba, Lithuania, Russia, and
Vietnam. Scholars and students will gain important historical and
anthropological perspective on how the dynamics of
state-market-citizen relations continue to shape the ethical and
moral frameworks guiding food practices around the world.
