Description

Explore how Chinese cuisine has transformed across the globe through this scholarly collection of essays from Routledge, examining the evolving foodways of Chinese communities in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and throughout Asia. Discover the anthropological insights behind why Chinese food tastes different in Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan, and understand the cultural forces shaping dietary practices and the adoption of Western food influences in East Asian regions. Written by leading anthropologists, this volume investigates the complex interplay between tradition and globalisation, revealing how migration, economic development, and cultural exchange have fundamentally altered what Chinese people eat at home and abroad, making it essential reading for anyone interested in food culture, diaspora studies, or the anthropology of contemporary Asia.
