Seasoned Socialism considers the relationship between gender and
food in late Soviet daily life. Political and economic conditions
heavily influenced Soviet life and foodways during this period and
an exploration of Soviet women's central role in the daily
sustenance for their families as well as the obstacles they faced
on this quest offers new insights into intergenerational and
inter-gender power dynamics of that time. Food, both in its quality
and quantity, was a powerful tool in the Soviet Union. This
collection features work by scholars in an array of fields
including cultural studies, literary studies, sociology, history,
and food studies, and the work gathered here explores the
intersection of gender, food, and culture in the post-1960s Soviet
context. From personal cookbooks to gulag survival strategies,
Seasoned Socialism considers gender construction and performance
across a wide array of primary sources, including poetry, fiction,
film, women's journals, oral histories, and interviews. This
collection provides fresh insight into how the Soviet government
sought to influence both what citizens ate and how they thought
about food.
