At the same time, eating performs a kind of vulnerability to the world, revealing a fundamental interdependence between the eater and that which exists outside her body. Racial Indigestion explores the links between food, visual and literary culture in the nineteenth-century United States to reveal how eating produces political subjects by justifying the social discourses that create bodily meaning. Combing through a visually stunning and rare archive of children?s literature, architectural history, domestic manuals, dietetic tracts, novels and advertising, Racial Indigestion tells the story of the consolidation of nationalist mythologies of whiteness via the erotic politics of consumption. Less a history of commodities than a history of eating itself, the book seeks to understand how eating became a political act, linked to appetite, vice, virtue, race and class inequality and, finally, the queer pleasures and pitfalls of a burgeoning commodity culture. In so doing, Racial Indigestion sheds light on contemporary ?foodie? culture?s vexed relationship to nativism, nationalism and race privilege. 410 0$aAmerica and the long 19th century. 606 $aFood in literature 606 $aHuman body$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aCooking$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aDiet$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aFood habits$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aFood in literature. 615 0$aHuman body$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aCooking$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aDiet$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aFood habits$xSocial aspects$xHistory 676 $a394.1/20973 700 $aTompkins$b Kyla Wazana$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0783224 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825888803321 996 $aRacial indigestion$91739816 997 $aUNINA
