Culinary nostalgia
2009
Swislocki, Mark
"Culinary Nostalgia is the first Western treatment of the unique significance that the Chinese people attach to their country's many distinct regional foods, as well as of the shifting roles that Western food plays in urban life. Author Mark Swislocki focuses on Shanghai as a rich intersection of urban, regional, and national identities, and examines how tastes registered change and continuity at pivotal moments throughout the city's history. From the earliest accounts of Shanghai's specialty foodstuffs to the dazzling variety of regional cuisine and restaurants in the metropolis of today, this book uncovers how city residents have constructed their relationship to the city itself, to other parts of China, and to the wider world. This new history of Shanghai develops an original framework for studying food culture as an intrinsic part of the way Chinese people connect to the past, live in the present, and imagine a future." --Book Jacket.
