Au même titre que les auberges routières de célèbres nationales, les somptueuses salles à manger des paquebots transatlantiques, les services à bord du transport aérien, la restauration ferroviaire a pris place dans les alimentations mobiles. Des années 1830 aux années 2020, ses formes ont varié. En France, elle se résume aujourd'hui au bar des TGV, aux boutiques de vente à emporter près des quais et aux restaurants mélangés des quartiers de gare. Mais elle cache une histoire longue. Les buffets de gare sont apparus aux débuts du chemin de fer. Parfois tables de haute cuisine jusque dans les années 1950, ils ont ensuite été relégués à des rôles secondaires. L'idée de raccorder une voiture-restaurant aux convois des voyageurs aisés a connu un succès réel à la fin du xixe siècle. L'image rémanente des grands express finit par rejeter dans l'ombre le wagon-bar de banlieue et le panier garni avalé dans l'inconfort par la majorité des mangeurs. C'est pour eux que le plateau-repas, le chariot ambulant et le Gril-Express ont été conçus. L'histoire de la restauration ferroviaire croise ainsi l'étude de l'alimentation et la dynamique des mobilités, le cadre des entreprises et les pratiques de consommation.

Retail Inequality examines the failure of recent efforts to improve Americans' diets by increasing access to healthy food. Based on exhaustive research, this book by Kenneth H. Kolb documents the struggles of two Black neighborhoods in Greenville, South Carolina. For decades, outsiders ignored residents' complaints about the unsavory retail options on their side of town--until the well-intentioned but flawed "food desert" concept took hold in popular discourse. Soon after, new allies arrived to help, believing that grocery stores and healthier options were the key to better health. These efforts, however, did not change neighborhood residents' food consumption practices. Retail Inequality explains why and also outlines the history of deindustrialization, urban public policy, and racism that are the cause of unequal access to food today. Kolb identifies retail inequality as the crucial concept to understanding today's debates over gentrification and community development. As this book makes clear, the battle over food deserts was never about food--it was about equality.
