Description:... Carving a unique space within the burgeoning field of food studies, the essays gathered in this volume position themselves at a variety of flashpoints along the spectrum of cultural and literary analysis. While some remain firmly entrenched in traditional genre analysis, some extend toward history and sociology, giving this collection a multifaceted perspective. The finest of these essays stand as cultural critiques, forcing the reader to consider what food means (and will mean) in the United States.
