'This impressive volume comprehensively and insightfully explores connections between food and nationalism against a backdrop of nationalist politics and global capitalism. Food is the ultimate site for the domestication of the nation. From invented food traditions to symbolic struggles over food's national authenticity and from food consumption and production to its national branding in global markets, authors Ichijo and Ranta deftly survey the multiple modalities through which food is intertwined with the politics of nationalism. This long overdue book whets our appetite for a new approach to food and the banal, but also politicised, reproduction of national sensibilities.' - Jon Fox, University of Bristol, UK

About the book Food is a theme largely neglected in the study of nationalism. From Japanese-style pasta sauce to the Israelisation of Arab-Palestinians' food culture, this book investigates a variety of cases related to food and nationalism across the world. Its authors draw on a variety of cases: from the everyday activity of individuals, to the commercial sector's efforts to sell their products, to gastrodiplomacy conducted by nation states. Through such examinations,
Food, National Identity and Nationalism shows how useful the food and nationalism axis is in the study of politics, and how politics and food permeate every level of human life.
