Food Consumption in Global Perspective cover

With studies of China, India, West Africa, South America and Europe, this book provides a global perspective on food consumption in the modern world. Combing ethnographic, historical and comparative analyses, the volume celebrates the contributions of Jack Goody to the anthropology of food.

“This volume is both an appreciation of Jack Goody’s ground-breaking studies on social class and food, and an extension into spaces and systems unexamined in his work. … Highly recommended, this unusually well-integrated volume offers academic researchers, students, and general readers a rich collection of data and thoughtful analysis, while both celebrating a great scholar and providing new territory for exploration.” (Merry I. White, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Vol. 23 (3), September, 2017)
