Rezensionen

"The Routledge History of American Foodways is essential reading for readers of both the American experience and its complex regional and national food cultures. In this foundational work, editors Jennifer Jensen Wallach and Michael Wise bring together a powerhouse of thinkers to decode the fascinating intersection of food and American history from the continent's first hunters and gatherers to today's contemporary food activists. Here we uncover the essence of what it means to be American through our shared and contested food choices."
