Each have become symbolic foods with specific connotations, located to a very specific place and country. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book explores the role of food in society as a means of interrogating the concept of the nation-state and its sub-units, and reveals how the nation-state in its various disguises has been and is changing in response to accelerated globalisation. The chapters investigate various stages of national food: its birth, emergence, and decline, and why sometimes no national food emerges. By collecting and analysing a wide range of case studies from countries including Portugal, Mexico, the USA, Bulgaria, Scotland, and Israel, the book illustrates ways in which various social forces work together to shape social and political realities concerning food. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributors, hailing from anthropology, history, sociology and political science, investigate the significance of specific food cultures, cuisines, dishes, and ingredients, and their association with national identity. In so doing, it becomes clearer how these two things interact, and demonstrates the scope and direction of the current study of food and nationalism.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAtsuko Ichijo \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor of Politics, Kingston University, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eVenetia Johannes\u003c\/b\u003e is Postdoctoral Research Associate at Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Oxford, UK. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRonald Ranta\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in International Relations, Kingston University, UK.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 17, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42103286562951,"sku":"9781350183926","price":84.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/10ffde907644897cdd477cdf52d70e46.webp?v=1732412113","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-emergence-of-national-food-the-dynamics-of-food-and-nationalism-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
