Food Culture

Published in Association with the Society for the Anthropology of Food and Nutrition (SAFN) and in Collaboration with Rachel Black and Leslie Carlin

“Food culture illustrates that praxis in the anthropology of food and nutrition is expanding and adapting to fit new contexts and answer new questions, while maintaining anthropology’s epistemological commitments to ethnography, field research and storytelling. It also illustrates many ways one can contribute to this work”.• Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale

“In sum, Food Culture is a useful resource text, especially for teaching. Each chapter is well written and organised in a way that is easy for the reader to access; they give robust and clear overviews of methodological approaches, contextualise these theoretically, and provide examples and case studies of how they can be used… Food Culture is more than a methods’ textbook and it will be an invaluable resource for higher-level undergraduates and postgraduates in that it offers practical, conceptual, and case study content… The book’s value also extends beyond a student audience, and its intellectual rigour ensures it offers something new for more established research- ers. As such, it is a welcome and useful addition to the Food Studies canon.”• Anthropos
