Description

First British Edition. 8vo - over 7æ" - 9æ" tall. Grey boards with orange text on spine, 305pp. ix,305 pp "Starting with a discussion of the treatment of food and love by figures such as Marx, as well as contemporary historical and sociological notions of modernisation, this text examines phenomena such as: the uniqueness of the European family; the development of romantic love; the evolution of national and regional cuisines; the globalisation of Chinese food; and the histories of various taboos on certain food and drink. Throughout the book,the author aims to demonstrate that the ethnocentricity of much of Western scholarship has distorted not only the comprehension of the East but also developments in Europe's past and present" - Publisher's description.
