Transnational perspectives on gender, food and ecology

Abstract

Writers in the issue situate food across a range of discourses that include the Anthropocene as a transnational question, food in identity formation, food as commodity in media analysis, food justice, food and racism, food in caste-spaces, food from the perspective of women migrants, and as a reservoir of inter-generational memories and cultural knowledge. The contributors to the issue have adopted diverse theoretical and methodological approaches – ethnographic, sociological, political, literary, autobiographical and transdisciplinary – making this an energetic, readable and engaging issue, particularly at this time.
