{"product_id":"food-fight-paloma-martinez-cruz-9780816536061","title":"Food Fight!: Millennial Mestizaje Meets the Culinary Marketplace","description":"From the racial defamation and mocking tone of \"Mexican\" restaurants geared toward the Anglo customer to the high-end Latin-inspired eateries with Anglo chefs who give the impression that the food was something unattended or poorly handled that they \"discovered\" or \"rescued\" from actual Latinos, the dilemma of how to make ethical choices in food production and consumption is always as close as the kitchen recipe, coffee pot, or table grape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eFood Fight  \u003c\/i\u003eauthor Paloma Martinez-Cruz takes us on a Chicanx gastronomic journey that is powerful and humorous. Martinez-Cruz tackles head on the real-world politics of food production from the exploitation of farmworkers to the appropriation of Latinx bodies and culture, and takes us right into transformative eateries that offer a homegrown, mestiza consciousness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The hard-hitting essays in \u003ci\u003eFood Fight \u003c\/i\u003e bring a mestiza critique to today's pressing discussions of labeling, identity, and imaging in marketing and dining. Not just about food, restaurants, and coffee, this volume employs a decolonial approach and engaging voice to interrogate ways that mestizo, Indigenous, and Latinx peoples are objectified in mainstream ideology and imaginary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paloma Martinez-Cruz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816536066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816536061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Paloma Martinez-Cruz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926480879871,"sku":"9780816536061","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1b9ecddd-2cda-4d02-b5dd-b2a7671ede2f.jpg?v=1681083307","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/food-fight-paloma-martinez-cruz-9780816536061","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
