Gastronativism: Food, Identity, Politics by Fabio Parasecoli
4.0
Reviewing this book isn’t going to be easy for me. Yes, it took me a long time to read and I had to start over.
There is a lot of information packed into this book. The e version I got was delivered in a weird format which made it harder for me to read. That is in no way the fault of the author.
At times I felt incredibly stupid while reading this. But now that I’m done, I want to know more. The impact politics has on food and vice versa was slightly mind boggling. I’m not a complete idiot and knew food was cause for all kinds of fighting. But seeing just how much it is linked to certain things really opened my eyes.
While this book was packed with a bit of information on many items, it only grazed the surface (I assume) or all the intrigue that goes with everything. My one critique is at times I felt like the book jumped around a lot. It gave me a bit of whiplash to try and keep up.
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy. All thoughts are my own. I do plan to buy a copy and physically highlight the passages that spoke to me the most
