Rethinking Chicana/O Literature Through Food: Postnational Appetites - Hardcover

by Nieves Pascual Soler (Editor), M. Abarca (Editor)

As Food Studies has grown into a well-established field, literary scholars have not fully addressed the prevalent themes of food, eating, and consumption in Chicana/o literature. Here, contributors propose food consciousness as a paradigm to examine the literary discourses of Chicana/o authors as they shift from the nation to the postnation.
