Kiuchi "CHOICE"<br><br>Full of provocation and insight, this collection productively investigates the complicated and often racialized relationships between consumer, producer, and nation. Foundational in its interdisciplinary, transnational critique of cuisine-driven multiculturalism, Eating Asian Americaskillfully navigates the vexed terrain of food politics.--Cathy J. Schlund-Vials, author of War, Genocide, and Justice: Cambodian American Memory Work<br><br>The essays themselves are readable and concise. Each scholar... [is] successful in reaching a very large audience, from Asian American scholars to those simply interested in food histories and identities.--Christopher Patterson "The International Examiner"<br><br>Thisbook transforms the study of Asian American food from an idiosyncratic, crowd-pleasing set of narratives that map discrete social histories into a key subfield for the discipline.-- "American Quarterly"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert Ji-Song Ku (Editor) </b><br> <b>Robert Ji-Song Ku</b> is Associate Professor of Asian and Asian American Studies at Binghamton University.
