Food and Empire
Course #: hist 150
Description:
This course surveys the history of food and empire since 1500. Food literally connects our bodies to global history: what we eat now - and why we eat it - result from centuries of unequal economic, political, and cultural interactions. Food also symbolizes the power relations that have shaped human identities, diets, and health over the last 500 years. Using scholarly writings, fiction, film, and field trips in the Boston area, we will explore how histories of empire and globalization have shaped contemporary foodways and the global politics of food provisioning today.
