E-Books →Food Between the Country and the City Ethnographies of a Changing Global Foodscape

Leading scholars in the study of food offer ethnographic studies of peasant homesteads, family farms, community gardens, state food industries, transnational supermarkets, planning offices, tourist boards, and government ministries in locales across the globe.
