Beskrivning

Exploring the entangled relationships between food, culture and society in India, this edited collection brings together empirically grounded research across diverse regions and contexts. Organised into four sections – Food, Culture and Identity; Food, Memory and Migration; Food, Livelihood and Nutrition; and Food, Consumption and Media – it highlights the complex roles food plays in shaping identity, mobility, labour and representation. Drawing from a range of disciplinary perspectives, the volume contributes to broader conversations in sociology, social anthropology, international development, geography, cultural studies and food studies, offering a textured account of contemporary foodways and their significance in everyday Indian life.

Recensioner i media

“This is a volume that promises to go beyond the reductive archetypes of Indian food and succeeds in doing that with aplomb. It digs deep into disgust, digitization, littoral subaltern tastes, syntax and semiotics and Nipponization of NE Indian foods that is rarely brought together in one volume.” • Krishnendu Ray, New York University
