Beskrivning

Gender and Food in Transnational East Asias illustrates how the production and consumption of food impacts the changing social positions of individuals and their relationships with their families, the state, and their work, as well as shapes their gender, sexual, ethnic, and national identities. The transnational movement of food and people between East Asia and the rest of the world is increasingly visible, forming various forces behind the cultural and political constructions of gender politics among and beyond Asian diasporas. It argues that a critical engagement with practices and representations of food from gender perspectives can enhance our understanding of the society and culture of transnational East Asia.

Recensioner i media

“A book that brings together the strengths of Asian Studies, and Asian American Studies to critically analyze gender dynamics in food media in PRC, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Much of the empirical material is new and exciting, and the conceptual apparatus is subtle and provocative. It helps us understand the cultural transformations associated with rapid socioeconomic change in East Asia and among East Asians elsewhere.”
