This popular text, now in a third edition, offers readers a vivid
perspective on the cultural and social complexities of food
practices and the current food system. Synthesizing insights from
the multidisciplinary field of food studies, this book engages
readers' curiosity by highlighting the seeming paradoxes of food:
how food is both individual and social, reveals both distinction
and conformity, and, in the contemporary era, seems to come from
everywhere but nowhere in particular. Each chapter begins with an
intriguing case study and ends with suggested resources and
activities. Chapter topics include identity, restaurants and food
media, health, marketing, industrialization, global food, surplus
and scarcity, and social change. Updates and enhancements in this
edition reflect new scholarly insights into how food is involved in
social media, social movements, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Throughout, the book blends concepts and empirical accounts to
address the central issues of culture, structure, and social
inequality. Written in a lively, accessible style, this book
provides students with an unrivalled and multifaceted introduction
to this fascinating aspect of social life.
