About this ebook

From winemaking in occupied territories to fishing in polluted seas, home cooking in refugee communities, and vegan cheese-making, this collection explores the complex ways taste and place intersect with political, ecological, social, and economic issues. Through diverse ethnographic case studies, leading food scholars examine the meaning and making of place and taste. In doing so, the book challenges unsettling terroir-inspired notions of a fixed taste of place and pushes the boundaries of what we think we know about their connections.
