Beskrivning
Winner of the Association for the Study of Food and Society’s Best Edited Volume 2021With culinary nationalism defined as a process in flux, as opposed to the limited concept of national cuisine, the contributors of this book call for explicit critical comparisons of cases of culinary nationalism among Asian regions, with the intention of recognizing patterns of modern culinary development. As a result, the formation of modern cuisine is revealed to be a process that takes place around the world, in different forms and periods, and notexclusive to current Eurocentric models.Key themes include the historical legacies of imperialism/colonialism, nationalism, the Cold War, and global capitalism in Asian cuisines; internal culinary boundaries between genders, ethnicities, social classes, religious groups, and perceived traditions/modernities; and global contexts of Asian cuisines as both nationalist and internationalist enterprises, and "Asia" itself as a vibrant culinary imaginary. The book, which includes a foreword from Krishnendu Ray and an afterword from James L. Watson, sets out a fresh agenda for thinking about future food studies scholarship.

Recensioner i media

This edited collection addresses a topic that is both timely and critical considering the current state of international relations. It contributes to the further refinement of theoretical considerations around the use of food to construct and assert national identities, setting those strategies within historical as well as contemporary contexts. Although it focuses on nations in Asia, its observations are universally relevant, and can be applied to all cultural forms, not just food … As such, this volume will become foundational reading in a number of disciplines, including Asian studies, international studies, mobility studies, history, heritage studies, and political science, as well as food studies.
