What we know
- From the catalog
- Explores the central role of food in social life, considering similarities and differences in the sociality of food across communities, places, regions, and nation-states. The sociological significance of food is approached from multiple perspectives: institutionally as part of economic and political systems; interpersonally, as an important element of identity and socialization; organizationally, as part of community and family structure; and as an embodiment of class, culture, age, and gender.
