Mapping the dynamic meanings of each term, the book moves forward from critical assessment to active intervention -- an attitude that is reflected in the lively, sometimes combative, style of the essays. Each essay is research-based and fully referenced but accessible to the general reader. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a foreword by eminent food scholar Warren Belasco, Professor of American Studies at the University of Maryland-Baltmore County, and written by an inter-disciplinary team associated with the CONANX research project (Consumer culture in an 'age of anxiety'), \u003ci\u003eFood Words\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential reading for food scholars across the arts, humanities and social sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0857851969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780857851963\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\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Peter Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072846098687,"sku":"9780857851963","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b4a14d9-3465-4603-934f-1ad3a3fccff6.jpg?v=1685444275","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/food-words-peter-jackson-9780857851963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
