From community kitchens to food festivals and shared meals around tables, Elaine Mei Lien Pratley shows how food shapes tensions, sparks understanding and produces everyday peace. Through participatory fieldwork with young people in Melbourne, Australia, ordinary acts - eating consciously, sampling unfamiliar cuisines and reducing food waste - emerge as powerful, agentic gestures that negotiate conflict, build trust and nurture connection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBlending feminist peace studies, food research and posthumanist theory, the book reveals how more-than-human actors - smells, ingredients, tables and atmospheres - participate directly in peace and conflict. It shows food practices not as background, but as lively collaborators in peacebuilding, offering new ways to understand, navigate, and shape conflict in our interconnected, entangled world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elaine Mei Lien Pratley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399547690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399547697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Elaine Mei Lien Pratley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48852640661759,"sku":"9781399547697","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hungry-for-peace-elaine-mei-lien-pratley-9781399547697","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
