Culinaria: Women of Color Rewriting Our Food Stories

A dynamic collective contribution to the field of critical feminist food studies. Over the last two decades, feminist food studies has grown significantly. Culinaria carves out new lines of intersectional and transnational analysis in this evolving field. In nineteen original essays, contributors from across the continental United States to South Africa and Pakistan show how gender, race, class, geography, and religion all shape the ways women use food. At once deeply personal and political, the stories here reflect on questions of community making, displacement, home, and loss, continually revealing food finding, making, consuming, and sharing to be a complex, culturally nuanced praxis. With a foreword by Psyche Williams-Forson and an afterword by Meredith E. Abarca, Culinaria will appeal to students and scholars of food studies, women's and gender studies, ethnic studies, and more.
