This book explores changes in eating habits in African, Latin American and Asian cities. It reveals-through studies on city dwellers' food practices and representations-the inadequacy of an analytical approach to these changes in terms of Westernization, standardization, transition or convergence towards a widely applicable model. Surveys conducted in cities of the Global South revealed that city dwellers are inventing new forms of eating based on a multitude of local and/or exogenous sources. Abidjan garba and Ouagadougou bâbenda are novel dishes that exemplify this urban food invention trend. The authors of the chapters are humanities and social science specialists from Africa, Latin America and Asia who conduct research in these regions. They invite readers to take a closer look at urban food in the Global South-the picture that emerges is far removed from preconceived ideas regarding poverty, health and the individual responsibility of food eaters. This book should be of interest to a scientific audience of teachers and food systems professionals, as well as any readers interested in urban social and cultural dynamics and the development of sociological and anthropological theories from the Global South.

"Eating Beside Ourselves expands the work of food studies by approaching eating and feeding as sites of transformation across a diversity of bodies and selves. In turning organic substance into food, acts of eating create webs of relations, interconnected and organized by relative conditions of edibility, through which eaters may in turn become eaten. Focusing on such relations, this volume explores how eating and feeding mediate thresholds between different conditions or states of being (e.g., living/dying; edible/inedible); between organisms of different species; and between living beings and their surrounding environment. The volume is organized around the analytic of the "threshold," which the contributors mobilize to think about how food serves as a threshold for human and inhuman relations. In addition to the single-authored chapters, the volume contains five conversational exchanges, which offers contributors the opportunity to discuss their work and the themes of the volume"--

In Wat is eetbaar? laat Adel den Hartog zien hoe complex de voedselkeuzes van mensen al millennia lang zijn. Wie zich afvraagt waarom wij eten wat wij eten, komt uit bij praktische zaken als de beschikbaarheid van producten, transport en kosten, maar ziet ook fysiologische, culturele, geografische, en psychologische factoren. Den Hartog wijst op het belang van de toegang die individuen en groepen hebben tot voedsel, en van hun sociaaleconomische positie.Kan iemand worden overtuigd om iets te eten dat deze persoon als oneetbaar ziet? In het boek staan vele voorbeelden van onze geringe flexibiliteit, of die nu wordt ingegeven door een intolerantie met een genetische oorsprong, of doordat wat onbekend was, ook onbemind bleef. Voedingsgewoonten reageren traag op interventies, maar gebruiken kunnen veranderen. Zo is een vleesloze maaltijd tegenwoordig geen teken van armoede meer.Het boek zal de algemeen cultureel geïnteresseerde lezer aanspreken. Het is geschikt als handboek voor wie de achtergrond van onze eetgewoonten wil begrijpen. De kennis uit het boek is uitstekend te gebruiken bij een scala aan interventies op het gebied van voeding en leefstijl.
