Beskrivning
In the early twenty-first century, nationalism has seen a surprising resurgence across the Western world. In the Catalan Autonomous Community in northeastern Spain, this resurgence has been most apparent in widespread support for Catalonia's pro-independence movement, and the popular assertion of Catalan symbols, culture and identity in everyday life. Nourishing the Nation provides an ethnographic account of the everyday experience of national identity in Catalonia, using an essential, everyday object of consumption: food. As a crucial element of Catalan cultural life, a focus on food provides unique insight into the lived realities of Catalan nationalism, and how Catalans experience and express their national identity today.

Recensioner i media

"This is an excellent piece of work on Catalan gastronationalism as lived reality. It is written well and very readable - not a dry academic monograph but a vivid depiction of how people live `food' in today's Catalonia." Atsuko Ichijo, Kingston University
