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.

Cet ouvrage expose les changements des habitudes alimentaires dans des villes d'Afrique, d'Amérique latine et d'Asie. A travers l'étude des pratiques et des représentations alimentaires de citadins, il montre l'insuffisance d'une analyse de ces changements en termes d'occidentalisation, d'uniformisation, de "transition" ou de convergence vers un modèle qui se généraliserait. Menées dans les villes des Suds, les enquêtes révèlent que les citadins inventent de nouvelles formes d'alimentation à partir d'une multiplicité de références locales et/ou exogènes. Le garba abidjanais ou le bâbenda ouagalais sont autant d'exemples de l'invention de cuisines urbaines. Les auteurs des chapitres sont chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales, originaires d'Afrique, d'Amérique latine et d'Asie où ils travaillent. Ils invitent le lecteur à porter un regard sur l'alimentation citadine des Suds, loin des idées reçues sur la pauvreté, la santé ou encore la responsabilité individuelle des mangeurs. Ce livre intéressera un public scientifique d'enseignants et de professionnels des systèmes alimentaires, et un lectorat s'intéressant aux dynamiques sociales et culturelles urbaines et à l'élaboration de théories sociologiques et anthropologiques venant des Suds.
