Food & Culture -a reader (1st edition 1997)

Picture
This book is a wonderful collection of essays which can be found online.  A later edition of this book was published in 2008.  The published book description:

"Food and Culture: A Reader , is a solidly established classroom and reference text for scholars and students across the humanities and social sciences. It has been assigned in courses in anthropology, cultural studies, folklore, food studies, history, literature, philosophy, sociology, archeology, American studies, and more. Food and Culture remains significant because it demonstrates the centrality of cultural anthropology to the study of food. It is unique in providing an interdisciplinary collection of classic and cutting-edge articles in the field of food and culture studies that combine theory with ethnographic and historical data."

Contributors include Margaret Mead, Roland Barthes and Claude Levi-Strauss.  The essays are organized into the following categories:   *  Food, Meaning and Voice * Commensality and Fasting * Food, Body and Culture * The Political Economy of Food *
