Description
Latin@ s’ Presence in the Food Industry takes the holistic culinary approach of bringing together multidisciplinary criticism to explore the diverse, and not always readily apparent, ways that Latin@s relate to food and the food industry.
The networks Latin@s create, the types of identities they fashion through food, and their relationship to the US food industry are ana- lyzed to understand Latin@s as active creators of food-based commu- nities, as distinctive cultural representations, and as professionals. This vibrant new collection acknowledges issues of labor conditions, eco- nomic politics, and immigration laws—structural vulnerabilities that certainly cannot be ignored—and strives to understand more fully the active and conscious ways that Latina@s create spaces to maneuver global and local food systems.
