"We need this volume in the lexicon of food studies research and analysis. It challenges us to think differently—not just about food but about the connectedness of food. Food and wellness; food and social care; food and caste, religion, and apartheid; food, dance, and performance; food and modern language, media, and communication; food journalism; and food and the performances of joy. This is an exciting volume because it includes all these vantage points and an array of methods and methodologies to advance these narratives." — From the foreword by Psyche Williams-Forson"Feminist food studies has been dominated by Euro-, Anglo-, and white-centric scholarship. While this research has raised important issues about the meaning, materiality, and significance of food and gender, it has also often ignored or minimized the centrality of racial capitalism and empire. The essays in this volume reframe feminist food studies through transnational, Black, and women-of-color feminist knowledges. Building on the work of critical feminist food studies scholars, contributors not only center intersectionality and discussions of race, gender, nation, and subalternity but also establish food as an analytic for understanding power, agency, and resistance." — Jigna Desai, coeditor of Asian Americans in Dixie: Race and Migration in the South"An impressive and much-needed volume. Culinaria brings together scholars whose work seldom appears together to create dialogue within and across disciplines, perspectives, and global regions. When we give women of color room to write their own food stories, we gain rich new ways of knowing and doing food." — Willa Zhen, Culinary Institute of America
