Bread is also often a figure or vehicle of social cohesion: from the homely image of \"breaking bread together\" to the mysteries of the Eucharist. But bread also commonly figures in social conflict - sometimes literally, in the \"bread riots\" that punctuate European history, and sometimes figuratively, in the ways bread operates as ethnic, religious or class signifier. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from the scriptures to modern pop culture, \u003ci\u003eBread \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of how this ancient and everyday object serves as a symbol for both social communion and social exclusion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eObject Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Cutler Shershow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501307444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501307447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.40h x 4.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Scott Cutler Shershow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935194808575,"sku":"9781501307447","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d1952a81-6c88-4600-ae9e-d08bcc79b577.jpg?v=1681418406","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bread-scott-cutler-shershow-9781501307447","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
