{"product_id":"colonial-food-in-interwar-paris-lauren-janes-9781472592828","title":"Colonial Food in Interwar Paris: The Taste of Empire","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the wake of the First World War, in which France suffered severe food shortages, colonial produce became an increasingly important element of the French diet. The colonial lobby seized upon these foodstuffs as powerful symbols of the importance of the colonial project to the life of the French nation. But how was colonial food really received by the French public? And what does this tell us about the place of empire in French society? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eColonial Food in Interwar Paris\u003c\/i\u003e, Lauren Janes disputes the claim that empire was central to French history and identity, arguing that the distrust of colonial food reflected a wider disinterest in the empire. From Indochinese rice to North African grains and tropical fruit to curry powder, this book offers an intriguing and original challenge to current orthodoxy about the centrality of empire to modern France by examining the place of colonial foods in the nation's capital.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lauren Janes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472592824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472592828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Lauren Janes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46451061031167,"sku":"9781472592828","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_446d4c18-5b9a-4d29-807a-256cea47707d.jpg?v=1735876316","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/colonial-food-in-interwar-paris-lauren-janes-9781472592828","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
