With diverse contributions from India, South Africa, Colombia, the United States, United Kingdom, and Jamaica, it discusses themes including modernity as a stuffed gourd; decolonising food in Colombia; culinary colonialism today; trijunction of colonialism, Hindu\/India resistance, and hybridity; Hindu widows and forbidden food; Dutch colonisation of the Cape and its food sources in Bengal (India), Indonesia, and Malaysia; politicising the kitchens in India; and autoethnographic accounts of food, cooking, compliance and resistance, to underscore how patterns of cooking and eating build knowledge systems in daily life. The book also addresses the cultural and ethnic components of suppression, cultural expressions of food and belonging as is evidenced in Filipina American cultural identities marked by migration, pleasure and taste as a psycho-sexual construct at the Cape in South Africa where the enslaved understand the value of food and pleasure. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of cultural studies, philosophy, post-colonial studies, gender studies, food studies, food history, food anthropology, sociology, political sociology and social anthropology. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRozena Maart\u003c\/b\u003e was born in District Six, the old slave quarter of Cape Town, South Africa.
