Race in the study of food
  • Race in the study of food
  • Ethnic community ; Food ; Food consumption ; Food habit ; Race ; Racism ; Social anthropology ; Social construction
  • It is not always evident how race matters to the study of food. The paper proposes how theories of race are being used in the literature. Most literature implicitly relies on the social construction of race to consider representations
  • and performances of race in contexts of eating or producing food. Explicit engagement with the concept of race and its theoretical foundations is important because it allows scholars to make arguments about how racism shapes food systems, to understand how race
  • changes through food, and to consider how food might enable different theorizations of race.

Resilience refused. Wasted potentials for improving food security in Dhaka
  • Resilience refused. Wasted potentials for improving food security in Dhaka
  • Bangladesh ; Dhaka ; Food ; Food security ; Household ; Livelihood ; Poverty ; Resilience ; Retail trade ; Social geography ; Wholesale trade
  • In this article, we look at the people who made Dhaka’s food system resilient enough to avoid catastrophe. We discuss three relevant actor groups – food traders in wholesale markets, street food vendors, and poor consumers – and investigate
  • the roles they play in keeping the city fed, and how they act in the light of crises. Neither these actors nor their contributions to urban food security are acknowledged by the state, nor are they substantially supported. Significant potentials
  • for a resilient urban food system thus remain unpromoted and even blocked.

  • and similarities in gastronomic preferences and healthcare attitudes. Special attention is paid to the adaptation strategies of multinationals, operating in different cultural environments. The requirements to the qualities of baby food reflect the whole variety

  • Alternative food initiatives which are commonly found in Ireland include allotments, community gardens, farmers' markets, farm shops and on-farm food enterprises. Understanding alternative food activities as a social movement can illuminate a fresh
  • perspective on their nature and potential. While briefly considering the broad dynamics of alternative food activity in Ireland, this exploratory paper looks at the question of the nature of resistance and whether a collective vision may exist across
  • initiatives, illustrated by two examples, a community garden and consumer food co-op. Finally some conclusions as to how alternative food initiatives may play a transformative role within the contemporary food system are discussed.
