The taco truck radiates Mexican culture within non-Mexican spaces with a presence—sometimes desired, sometimes resented—that turns a public street corner into a bustling business. \u003cp\u003eDrawing on interviews with taco truck workers and his own skills as a geographer, Robert Lemon illuminates new truths about foodways, community, and the unexpected places where ethnicity, class, and culture meet. Lemon focuses on the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, and Columbus, Ohio, to show how the arrival of taco trucks challenge preconceived ideas of urban planning even as cities use them to reinvent whole neighborhoods. As Lemon charts the relationships between food practices and city spaces, he uncovers the many ways residents and politicians alike contest, celebrate, and influence not only where your favorite truck parks, but what's on the menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eCover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eTitle\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eCopyright\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eDedication\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eContents\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eForeword\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eCHAPTER 1: REMAKING OAKLAND'S STREETS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eCHAPTER 2: FORMALIZING SAN FRANCISCO'S INFORMAL STREET FOOD VENDORS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eCHAPTER 3: MAKING SACRAMENTO INTO AN EDIBLE CITY\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eCHAPTER 4: LANDSCAPE, LABOR, AND THE LONCHERA\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eCHAPTER 5: COMMUNITY CONFLICT AND CUISINE IN COLUMBUS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eCHAPTER 6: COOKING UP MULTICULTURALISM\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eCHAPTER 7: FOOD, FEAR, AND DREAMS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eConclusion\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eNotes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eReferences\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eindex\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52523419959576,"sku":"9780252042454","price":87.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-taco-truck-how-mexican-street-food-is-transforming-the-american-city-hardback-9780252042454","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
