As a result, the formation of modern cuisine is revealed to be a process that takes place around the world, in different forms and periods, and not\u003cbr\u003eexclusive to current Eurocentric models.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey themes include the historical legacies of imperialism\/colonialism, nationalism, the Cold War, and global capitalism in Asian cuisines; internal culinary boundaries between genders, ethnicities, social classes, religious groups, and perceived traditions\/modernities; and global contexts of Asian cuisines as both nationalist and internationalist enterprises, and \"Asia\" itself as a vibrant culinary imaginary. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book, which includes a foreword from Krishnendu Ray and an afterword from James L. Watson, sets out a fresh agenda for thinking about future food studies scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle T.
