This expansive collection enriches the field of food studies with a feminist intersectional perspective, addressing the impacts that race, ethnicity, class, and nationality have on nutritional customs, habits, and perspectives. Throughout the text, international scholars explore three areas in feminist food studies: the socio-cultural, the corporeal, and the material. The textbooks chapters intersect as they examine how food is linked to hegemony, identity, and tradition, while contributors offer diverse perspectives that stem from biology, museum studies, economics, popular culture, and history. This texts engaging writing style and timely subject-matter encourage student discussions and forward-looking analyses on the advancement of food studies. With a unique multidisciplinary and global perspective, this vital resource is well-suited to undergraduate students of food studies, nutrition, gender studies, sociology, and anthropology. Features includes pedagogical features such as discussion questions and a glossary ensures a feminist intersectional approach to food studies to enhance, enliven, and advance food studies in innovative, creative, and radical ways

Recensioner i media

"one of the major contributions of feminist food studies is that it explores intersectionality through refined angles at both the theoretical and the empirical levels. in a clear and accessible manner, every chapter of the book experiments with moving intersectionality to 'unexplored places.' the result is a fascinating and enriching journey into feminist scholarship and its multiple connections with food."

-Dr. Carla Guerrn Montero, University of Delaware


"feminist food studies assembles new scholarship on food and feminism. the collection takes up an intersectional lens that is well-defined in the introductory chapters for new readers. the authors pay homage to the anti-colonial and social justice roots of feminist food studies as a field, a commitment that is enacted and built upon in every chapter. established scholars and new readers alike will find ideas to forage for that nourishes a critical feminist consciousness about food studies."

-Dr. Jennifer L. Johnson, Thorneloe University at Laurentian
