Changing Food Habits (Food In History And Culture,)

Changing Food Habits: Case Studies from Africa, South America and Europe examines processes of charge in African, South American and European countries by analyzing the ways in which food is an integral part of ongoing ecological, economic, political and social transformations. It also provides research on dietary changes that result from direct intervention by people and agencies. The majority of these fascinating case studies are based on original fieldwork; they are quite diverse, as are the nature and scope of changes considered. The authors discuss rural as well as urban modes of food consumption, dietary changes in different societal contexts, and food-based rituals. The cases presented suggest alternative readings of some established models of changing food habits, and contribute to a more comprehensive history of dietary transformations. Book jacket.
