Icons of Mexican cultural identity and America's melting pot ideal,
taco trucks have transformed cityscapes from coast to coast. The
taco truck radiates Mexican culture within non-Mexican spaces with
a presence-sometimes desired, sometimes resented-that turns a
public street corner into a bustling business. Drawing on
interviews with taco truck workers and his own skills as a
geographer, Robert Lemon illuminates new truths about foodways,
community, and the unexpected places where ethnicity, class, and
culture meet. Lemon focuses on the San Francisco Bay Area,
Sacramento, and Columbus, Ohio, to show how the arrival of taco
trucks challenge preconceived ideas of urban planning even as
cities use them to reinvent whole neighborhoods. As Lemon charts
the relationships between food practices and city spaces, he
uncovers the many ways residents and politicians alike contest,
celebrate, and influence not only where your favorite truck parks,
but what's on the menu.

Orientalism as self-critique rather than hegemonic discourse in
works by Hofmannsthal, Musil, and Kafka. In recent years a debate
has arisen on the applicability of postcolonial theory to the
Austro-Hungarian Empire. Some have argued that Austria-Hungary's
lack of overseas territories renders the concepts of colonialism
and postcolonialism irrelevant, while others have cited the
quasi-colonial attitudes of the Viennese elite towards the various
"subject peoples" of the empire as a point of comparison. Imperial
Messages applies postcolonial theory to works of orientalist
fiction by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Robert Musil, and Franz Kafka,
all subjects of the empire, challenging Edward Said's notion that
orientalism invariably acts in the ideological service of European
colonialism.It argues that these Habsburg authors employ oriental
motifs not to promulgate Western hegemony, but to engage in
self-reflection and self-critique, including critique of the
foundational concepts of orientalist discourse itself.By providing
detailed textual analyses of canonical works of Austrian Modernism,
including Hofmannsthal's "Tale of the 672nd Night," Musil's Young
Toerless, and Kafka's "In the Penal Colony," the book not only
offers new postcolonial readings of these Austrian works, but also
shows how they question the conventional postcolonial and
post-Saidian view of orientalism as a purely hegemonic discourse.
