Nutritional advice and representations of food and eating, including cookbooks, literature, magazines, newspapers, still life paintings, television shows, films, and the internet, have helped throughout American history to circulate normative claims about citizenship, gender performance, sexuality, class privilege, race, and ethnicity, while promising an increase in cultural capital and social mobility to those who comply with the prescribed norms. The study examines culinary writing and practices as forces for the production of social order and, at the same time, as points of cultural resistance against hegemonic norms, especially in shaping dominant ideas of nationalism, gender, and sexuality, suggesting that eating right is a gateway to becoming an American, a good citizen, an ideal man, or a perfect mother. Cookbooks, as a low-prestige literary form, became the largely unheralded vehicles for women to participate in nation-building before they had access to the vote or public office, for middle-class authors to assert their class privileges, for men to claim superiority over women even in the kitchen, and for Lesbian authors to reinscribe themselves into the heteronormative economy of culinary culture. The book engages in close reading of a wide variety of sources and genres to uncover the intersections of food, politics, and privilege in American culture"--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aCalifornia studies in food and culture ;$v59. 517 3 $aFood and American identities 606 $aFood$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aCooking, American$xHistory 606 $aFood habits$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCookbooks$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 610 $a19th century food. 610 $aamerican cooking. 610 $aamerican cuisine. 610 $aamerican culture. 610 $aamerican studies. 610 $acooking. 610 $aculinary culture. 610 $aculinary discourse. 610 $aculinary literature. 610 $aculinary texts. 610 $aculinary. 610 $acultural identities. 610 $afood and agriculture. 610 $afood and class. 610 $afood and culture. 610 $afood and gender. 610 $afood and identity. 610 $afood and power. 610 $afood history. 610 $afood lovers. 610 $afood studies. 610 $afood traditions. 610 $afood writing. 610 $afood. 610 $ahistorian. 610 $ahistory of cooking. 610 $ahistory of food in america. 610 $ahumanities. 610 $apolitics of food. 610 $aqueering cooking. 610 $aqueering food. 610 $aunited states. 615 0$aFood$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCooking, American$xHistory. 615 0$aFood habits$xHistory. 615 0$aCookbooks$xSocial aspects 676 $a394.1/20973 700 $aVester$b Katharina$01534128 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798070903321 996 $aA taste of power$93781408 997 $aUNINA
