How the Other Half Ate : A History of Working-Class Meals at the Turn of the Century Paperback / softback
by Katherine Leonard Turner
Part of the California Studies in Food and Culture series
Paperback / softback
Description
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, working-class Americans had eating habits that were distinctly shaped by jobs, families, neighborhoods, and the tools, utilities, and size of their kitchens--along with their cultural heritage.
How the Other Half Ate is a deep exploration by historian and lecturer Katherine Turner that delivers an unprecedented and thoroughly researched study of the changing food landscape in American working-class families from industrialization through the 1950s.
Relevant to readers across a range of disciplines--history, economics, sociology, urban studies, women's studies, and food studies--this work fills an important gap in historical literature by illustrating how families experienced food and cooking during the so-called age of abundance.
Turner delivers an engaging portrait that shows how America's working class, in a multitude of ways, has shaped the foods we eat today.
