Since the founding of the United States, culinary texts and practices have played a crucial role in the making of cultural identities and social hierarchies. A Taste of Power examines culinary writing and practices as forces for the production of social order and, at the same time, points of cultural resistance. Culinary writing has helped shape dominant ideas of nationalism, gender, and sexuality, suggesting that eating right is a gateway to becoming an American, a good citizen, an ideal man, or a perfect wife and mother. In this brilliant interdisciplinary work, Katharina Vester examines how cookbooks became a way for women to participate in nation-building before they had access to the vote or public office, for Americans to distinguish themselves from Europeans, for middle-class authors to assert their class privileges, for men to claim superiority over women in the kitchen, and for lesbian authors to insert themselves into the heteronormative economy of culinary culture. A Taste of Power engages in close reading of a wide variety of sources and genres to uncover the intersections of food, politics, and privilege in American culture.

Are we in a post-feminist era? Has the term, feminist, grown out of its resisted stance? What from today's standpoint is an appropriate concept of feminist philosophy? And is it not the case that all people thinking democratically must share its central concern? In Feminist Philosophy , internationally acclaimed philosopher Herta Nagl-Docekal discusses and critiques the theories of today. Her study ranges across philosophical anthropology, aesthetics, philosophy of science, the critique of reason, political theory, and philosophy of law. Feminist Philosophy confronts the entire field with the problem of the hierarchical relations of the sexes. Throughout her work, Nagl-Docekal affirms the importance of feminist thought as she presses for new approaches to common problems.

This handbook tracks the emergence, transformations, contradictions, and global circulation of the American Dream from the colonial period to the present.Bringing together scholars from history, literary studies, American studies, media studies, and related fields, the volume demonstrates how the Dream has functioned simultaneously as a promise of opportunity and a mechanism of exclusion. The chapters examine how narratives of chosenness, settler colonialism, westward expansion, and imperial ambition laid the foundations for American exceptionalism long before the term itself was coined by James Truslow Adams in 1931. They explore how migrants from Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean helped construct and reinterpret the Dream through mobility, labor, and struggles for belonging. Other chapters analyze labor movements, homeownership, automobility, masculinity, LGBTQ+ activism, neoliberalism, environmental crises, and popular culture as central sites where the Dream was produced, contested, and reinvented. Throughout, the handbook emphasizes that the American Dream has never been universally accessible nor confined to the borders of the United States. Instead, it emerges as a transnational and deeply intersectional formation whose enduring power lies precisely in its flexibility, contradictions, and emotional force.The Routledge History of the American Dream will be of interest to scholars of American history, American studies, cultural studies, political history, and migration history. It is also suitable for general readers seeking a historically grounded understanding of the American Dream.
