Description

Food in World History, Third Edition, traces the evolution of culinary cultures and food politics from ancient civilizations to the modern era. This comprehensive exploration examines how hunger and taste have shaped human history, investigating the long arc of food globalisation and its political, social, and environmental consequences. The text addresses critical themes including industrialisation, indigeneity, colonialism, gender dynamics, environmental impacts, and the relationship between food and power structures. Through case studies spanning diverse societies and periods - from Maya and Inca cuisines to contemporary food systems - the book reveals how our changing relationship with food reflects broader transformations in human society. Ideal for students and scholars seeking to understand how culinary practices and food politics intersect with economic systems, cultural identity, and environmental sustainability across different historical contexts.

Key Features

Third edition includes expanded discussions of industrialisation, indigeneity, and colonialism's impact on global food systems and culinary traditions.

Examines the long history of food globalisation and demonstrates how shifting agricultural and trade networks transformed consumption patterns worldwide.

Incorporates case studies from diverse societies and historical periods, including detailed analysis of Maya and Inca cuisines and their cultural significance.

Addresses gender, environmental, and power dynamics in food production and consumption, connecting culinary practices to social inequality and ecological change.

Published by Routledge as part of the Themes in World History series, offering scholarly perspective on food's role as a driving force in human development.
