This ten-volume encyclopedia explores the social history of
20th-century America in rich, authoritative detail, decade by
decade, through the eyes of its everyday citizens. Social History
of the United States is a cornerstone reference that tells the
story of 20th-century America, examining the interplay of policies,
events, and everyday life in each decade of the 1900s with
unmatched authority, clarity, and insight. Spanning ten volumes and
featuring the work of some of the foremost social historians
working today, Social History of the United States bridges the gap
between 20th-century history as it played out on the grand stage
and history as it affected—and was affected by—citizens at the
grassroots level. Covering each decade in a separate volume, this
exhaustive work draws on the most compelling scholarship to
identify important themes and institutions, explore daily life and
working conditions across the economic spectrum, and examine all
aspects of the American experience from a citizen's-eye view.
Casting the spotlight on those whom history often leaves in the
dark, Social History of the United States is an essential addition
to any library collection.
This book uses food as a lens through which to explore important
matters of society and culture. In exploring why and how people eat
around the globe, the text focuses on issues of health, conflict,
struggle, contest, inequality, and power. Whether because of its
necessity, pleasure, or ubiquity, the world of food (and its lore)
proves endlessly fascinating to most people. The story of food is a
narrative filled with both human striving and human suffering.
However, many of today's diners are only dimly aware of the human
price exacted for that comforting distance from the lived-world
realities of food justice struggles. With attention to food issues
ranging from local farming practices to global supply chains, this
book examines how food’s history and geography remain
inextricably linked to sociopolitical experiences of trauma
connected with globalization, such as colonization, conquest,
enslavement, and oppression. The main text is structured
alphabetically around a set of 70 ingredients, from almonds to
yeast. Each ingredient's story is accompanied by recipes. Along
with the food profiles, the encyclopedia features sidebars. These
are short discussions of topics of interest related to food,
including automats, diners, victory gardens, and food at world’s
fairs. This project also brings a social justice perspective to its
content—weighing debates concerning food access, equity,
insecurity, and politics.
