Description
By considering the practice of globalisation, these essays describe changes, variations and innovations to Chinese food in many parts of the world. The book reviews and broadens classic theories about ethnic and social identity formation through the examination of Chinese food, providing a powerful testimony to the impact of late 20th century globalisation. Review: An excellent collection.... It is a real qualitative leap upward in the richness and detail of Chinese food ethnography! We have previously had many general works but few richly detailed studies of local ways, let alone of the transformations of Chinese food as it wanders around the world.
