In a vivid and highly personal account, Nir Avieli takes the reader from the private setting of the extended family meal into the public realm of the festive, extraordinary, and unique. He shows how foodways relate to class relations, gender roles, religious practices, cosmology, ethnicity, and even local and national politics. This evocative study departs from conventional anthropological research on food by stressing the rich meanings, generative capacities, and potential subversion embedded in foodways and eating."--Publisher's description. 606 $aCooking, Vietnamese 606 $aFood habits$zVietnam$zHo??i An 606 $aFood$xSocial aspects$zVietnam$zHo??i An 606 $aGastronomy$zVietnam$zHo??i An 607 $aHo??i An (Vietnam)$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCooking, Vietnamese. 615 0$aFood habits 615 0$aFood$xSocial aspects 615 0$aGastronomy 676 $a394.1/2095975 676 $a394.12095975 700 $aAvieli$b Nir$f1966-$01027750 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451994203321 996 $aRice talks$92443391 997 $aUNINA
