Description

Tracing the intertwined roles of food, ethnicity, and regionalism in the construction of American identity, this textbook examines the central role food plays in our lives.

Drawing on a range of disciplines_including sociology, anthropology, folklore, geography, history, and nutrition_the editors have selected a group of engaging essays to help students explore the idea of food as a window into American culture.

The editors' general introductory essay offers an overview of current scholarship, and part introductions contextualize the readings within each section.

This lively reader will be a valuable supplement for courses on American culture across the social sciences.
