Valeria Siniscalchi and Krista Harper show how food becomes a marker of identity and resistance to social exclusion, and how food values become tools for transforming power dynamics at the local level and beyond. Through the comparison of food-centered movements across Europe, the book explains how these forms of mobilization express ideologies as well as economic and political objectives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chapters use an ethnographic approach to focus on the transformation of values carried by individuals and groups in relation to food in Portugal, Greece, Latvia, Moldova, Denmark, the UK, Italy, and France. Contributors analyze food values, as expressed in daily life and livelihoods, through specific practices of production, exchange, and consumption. Topics covered include Prague's urban agricultural scene, the perception of poverty in Moldova, shepherds' protests in Sardinia, and organic food cooperatives in Catalonia.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKrista Harper \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Anthropology and Public Policy at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the USA. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eValeria Siniscalchi \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Anthropology at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in France.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 25, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47412331053234,"sku":"9781350249158","price":80.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/84572b81586dc022a1fb24108ad5fd5a.webp?v=1778319359","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/food-values-in-europe-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
