Rezensionen

"The aim is a laudable one, as this emerging intersection is worthy of scholarly attention. Pairing a discussion of food politics with a rhetorical perspective is a beneficial way to explore the symbols surrounding food and food itself as a symbol...The variety of approaches, guiding theories, and topics makes this book an interesting and entertaining read concerning the intersection of food and power...this book's offering of prominent and meaningful inquiries would aid both classes and research into relevant topics." --Emma Frances Bloomfield, University of Southern California, International Journal of Communication
