Description: Fast Food/Slow Food: The Cultural Economy of the Global Food System edited by Richard Wilk. From the Society for Economic Anthropology Monographs, Volume 24. Approximately 6 x 9 inches. 268 pages. “The essays in this fascinating volume look at the simultaneous intersection of the global and the local in diverse food cultures around the globe, from Mali to Japan, Mexico to Laos. Challenging a homogeneous model of food commodification and dietary globalization, the authors explore how people in diverse cultures balance contradictory culinary forces by localizing fast food, integrating modern foods into culturally meaningful diets, revitalizing dying food practices, and resisting the loss of rich traditions centered on food ways.” Condition: like new, contents clean, no tears or creases, no writing, no missing pages, tightly bound, no remainder marks, NOT a former library book.
