Conclusion: food writing in the age of information; Bibliography; Notes; Index. 330 $aGlobal Appetites explores how industrial agriculture and countercultural food movements underpin US conceptions of global power in the century since the First World War. Allison Carruth's study centers on what she terms the 'literature of food' - a body of work that comprises literary realism, late modernism and magical realism along with culinary writing, food memoir and advertising. Through analysis of American texts ranging from Willa Cather's novel O Pioneers! (1913) to Novella Carpenter's non-fiction work Farm City (2009), Carruth argues that stories about how the United States cultivates, distributes and consumes food imbue it with the power to transform social and ecological systems around the world. Lively and accessible, this interdisciplinary study will appeal to scholars of American literature and culture as well as those working in the fields of food studies, food policy, agriculture history, social justice and the environmental humanities. 606 $aAgriculture in literature 606 $aFood in literature 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFood writing$zUnited States 606 $aAgricultural industries$zUnited States 606 $aGlobalization 615 0$aAgriculture in literature. 615 0$aFood in literature. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFood writing 615 0$aAgricultural industries 615 0$aGlobalization. 676 $a810.9/3564 686 $aLIT004290$2bisacsh 700 $aCarruth$b Allison$01688254 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815083303321 996 $aGlobal appetites$94062355 997 $aUNINA
