Description

What did you have for breakfast? Did you ever stop to think about the people and steps involved with how your banana or cereal got on your plate? Nearly everyone is a part of the global food system, yet few people are aware of how it operates. Kimberly A. Weir starts by evaluating how we are connected with spice farmers, cocoa bean growers, soybean producers, tomato pickers, and tuna fishers not only gives insight into where we fit in the global food chain, but also offers a unique way to understand the aspects and concepts of the global political economy. The book begins by figuring out where readers fit in the global food chain, looking at what affects eating habits and choices, and situating these factors in a global context. From Jicama to Jackfruit provides that insight in abundance. Review "Didactic tools like review questions, recipe boxes, and sidebars featuring 'new-to-you foods,' situate the book as an undergraduate text for a US student. Accordingly, the writing is clear, straightforward, and engaging. Scholars from other fields will find the book a good overview, and will be grateful for the endnotes. . .Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above; general readers." ―CHOICE “This book brings a new and different perspective to a topic that will become increasingly salient and attract more attention as people around the world―in both developed and developing countries―focus on the quantity, quality, and variety of their food. The author does an excellent job of motivating the topic throughout the book, especially with features like ‘New-to-You Food.’” ―Moonhawk Kim, University of Colorado at Boulder “An enticing and interesting read reflecting the innovative pairing of food crops with dimensions of the global political economy. This book will be a popular addition to the limited available offerings in circulation today.” ―Shelley L. Hurt, California Polytechnic State University “An interesting approach to dissecting key questions in global political economy using food as a lens. . . .[this book] provides an accessible avenue for students to make sense of global issues.” ―Noah R. Zerbe, Humboldt State University About the Author Kimberly A. Weir is Associate Professor of Political Science at Northern Kentucky University. She has taught widely on the subjects in this book, and cooks with her students as she teaches. She has written on a variety of issues in political economy and pedagogy including 'Teaching about the Global Political Economy' (with Vicki Golich) in the International Studies Association Compendium.
