Food Cultures of the World Encyclopedia [4 volumes]
Author: Ken Albala
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313376271
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1566
Book Description
This comprehensive reference work introduces food culture from more than 150 countries and cultures around the world—including some from remote and unexpected peoples and places. From babka to baklava to the groundnut stew of Ghana, food culture can tell us where we've been—and maybe even where we're going. Filled with succinct, yet highly informative entries, the four-volume Food Cultures of the World Encyclopedia covers all of the planet's nation-states, as well as various tribes and marginalized peoples. Thus, in addition to coverage on countries as disparate as France, Ethiopia, and Tibet, there are also entries on Roma Gypsies, the Maori of New Zealand, and the Saami of northern Europe. There is even a section on food in outer space, detailing how and what astronauts eat and how they prepare for space travel as far as diet and nutrition are concerned. Each entry offers information about foodstuffs, meals, cooking methods, recipes, eating out, holidays and celebrations, and health and diet. Vignettes help readers better understand other cultures, while the inclusion of selected recipes lets them recreate dishes from other lands.

The Long Honduran Night
Author: Dana Frank
Publisher: Haymarket Books
ISBN: 1608469611
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
This powerful narrative recounts the tumultuous time in Honduras that witnessed then-President Manuel Zelaya deposed by a coup in June 2009, told through first-person experiences and layered with deeper political analysis. It weaves together two perspectives; first, the broad picture of Honduras since the coup, including the coup itself, its continuation in two repressive regimes, and secondly, the evolving Honduran resistance movement, and a new, broad solidarity movement in the United States. Although it is full of terrible things, this not a horror story: this narrative directly counters mainstream media coverage that portrays Honduras as a pit of unrelenting awfulness, in which powerless sobbing mothers cry over bodies in the morgue. Rather, it’s about sobering challenges and the inspiring collective strength with which people face them. Dana Frank is a professor of history at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She is the author of Baneras: Women Transforming the Banana Unions of Latin America from Haymarket Books. Since the 2009 military coup her articles about human rights and U.S. policy in Honduras have appeared in The Nation, New York Times, Politico Magazine, Foreign Affairs.com, The Baffler, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, and many other publications, and she has testified in both the US Congress and Canadian Parliament.

Nori: the Story of a Deaf Honduran Orphan and the Goodness of God
Author: Robert K. Rittenhouse
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1477280588
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
There comes a time when each of us must decide to heed Gods call to action and join Him in His divine work. This is the story of Bob and Pat Rittenhouses's answer to that call. True religion, as defined by Scripture, is to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world (James 1:27, NKJV). Taking this verse to heart, the Rittenhouses decided to open their hearts and home to a deaf child. In His mysterious but wonderful way, God brought Nori and the Rittenhouses together. What follows is the journey that Bob, Pat, and Nori traveled as they became a family. It is a beautiful story of Gods grace and love. Having known the Rittenhouses for a number of years, I can attest to the blessing that Bob and Pat have been to Nori as well as the blessing Nori has been to each person she meets. May God use this book to challenge each of us to answer His call and show His love in a world that is in such desperate need. Charles W. Penland Jr. D.Min. Kirby Woods Baptist Church, Memphis

Ethnic American Food Today
Author: Lucy M. Long
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442227311
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 741
Book Description
Ethnic American Food Today introduces readers to the myriad ethnic food cultures in the U.S. today. Entries are organized alphabetically by nation and present the background and history of each food culture along with explorations of the place of that food in mainstream American society today. Many of the entries draw upon ethnographic research and personal experience, giving insights into the meanings of various ethnic food traditions as well as into what, how, and why people of different ethnicities are actually eating today. The entries look at foodways—the network of activities surrounding food itself—as well as the beliefs and aesthetics surrounding that food, and the changes that have occurred over time and place. They also address stereotypes of that food culture and the culture’s influence on American eating habits and menus, describing foodways practices in both private and public contexts, such as restaurants, groceries, social organizations, and the contemporary world of culinary arts. Recipes of representative or iconic dishes are included. This timely two-volume encyclopedia addresses the complexity—and richness—of both ethnicity and food in America today.
