Even in the harsh conditions of total war, food is much more than a
daily necessity, however scarce-it is social glue and an identity
marker, a form of power and a weapon of war. This collection
examines the significance of food and hunger in Germany's turbulent
twentieth century. Food-centered perspectives and experiences "from
below" reveal the social, cultural and political consequences of
three conflicts that defined the twentieth century: the First and
Second World Wars and the ensuing global Cold War. Emerging and
established scholars examine the analytical salience of food in the
context of twentieth-century Germany while pushing conventional
temporal frameworks and disciplinary boundaries. Together, these
chapters interrogate the ways in which deeper studies of food
culture in Germany can shed new light on old wars.
