A solid, quick read--lots of examples to illustrate Turner's points, and I deeply appreciated her inclusion of gender as an analytical touchstone throughout the book, rather than touching on it as a special category in a segregated chapter. This book is super undertheorizied--the complexity of her analysis is maybe not what someone familiar with working class studies, for example, would hope. I would definitely recommend this for folks looking for an easy read into an understanding of how people outside the middle and upper classes ate. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, working-class Americans had eating habits that were distinctly shaped by jobs, families, neighborhoods, and the tools, utilities, and size of their kitchens--along with their cultural heritage. How the Other Half Ate is a deep exploration by historian and lecturer Katherine Turner that delivers an unprecedented and thoroughly researched study of the changing food landscape in American working-class families from industrialization through the 1950s. Relevant to readers across a range of disciplines--history, economics, sociology, urban studies, women's studies, and food studies--this work fills an important gap in historical literature by illustrating how families experienced food and cooking during the so-called age of abundance. Turner delivers an engaging portrait that shows how America's working class, in a multitude of ways, has shaped the foods we eat today. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
