Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This volume offers a comprehensive guide to methods used in the
sociocultural, linguistic and historical research of food use. This
volume is unique in offering food-related research methods from
multiple academic disciplines, and includes methods that bridge
disciplines to provide a thorough review of best practices. In each
chapter, a case study from the author's own work is to illustrate
why the methods were adopted in that particular case along with
abundant additional resources to further develop and explore the
methods.
Nutritional Anthropology and public health research and programming
have employed similar methodologies for decades; many
anthropologists are public health practitioners while many public
health practitioners have been trained as medical or biological
anthropologists. Recognizing such professional connections, this
volume provides in-depth analysis and comprehensive review of
methods necessary to design, plan, implement and analyze public
health programming using anthropological best practices. To
illustrates the rationale for use of particular methods, each
chapter elaborates a case study from the author's own work, showing
why particular methods were adopted in each case.
Biocultural and archaeological research on food, past and present,
often relies on very specific, precise, methods for data collection
and analysis. These are presented here in a broad-based review.
Individual chapters provide opportunities to think through the
adoption of methods by reviewing the history of their use along
with a discussion of research conducted using those methods. A case
study from the author's own work is included in each chapter to
illustrate why the methods were adopted in that particular case
along with abundant additional resources to further develop and
explore those methods.
Inequity of control over food systems is a particularly insidious
form of injustice. Collectively, the contributors to this volume
posit that this inequity is rooted in power asymmetries in the U.S.
food system and codified through U.S. food policies. This process
puts the public at risk in the U.S. and, via trade and foreign aid
policies, in the Global South. Inequities are manifest in the
allocation of food and food-producing resources in favor of the
wealthy, exploitation of the natural environment for short-term
gain of private interests over long-term public ones, the framing
of public discussion on food and food deprivation, and finally, the
deflection of moral challenges posed by human rights to food.The
contributors draw on long-term anthropological field research to
examine these tensions and their on-the-ground outcomes in diverse
cultural and national contexts. The authors' insightful analyses
span a wide variety of topics including dietary change, food
insecurity, livestock production, and organic farming in the light
of U.S. trade, food, labor, and agricultural policies and food
assistance programs. The collection highlights the obstacles to,
and the dilemmas and inconsistencies in, shaping policy in the
public interest. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Food & Foodways.
The dramatic increase in all things food in popular and academic
fields during the last two decades has generated a diverse and
dynamic set of approaches for understanding the complex
relationships and interactions that determine how people eat and
how diet affects culture. These volumes offer a comprehensive
reference for students and established scholars interested in food
and nutrition research in Nutritional and Biological Anthropology,
Archaeology, Socio-Cultural and Linguistic Anthropology, Food
Studies and Applied Public Health.
