She presents the fascinating stories of unheralded women cookbook authors, creators of cooking schools and TV shows, and others who preceded those chefs in the mid-twentieth century. In so doing, she makes a brilliant case for recognizing the powerful entanglements of gender, race, food, and nation in modernizing Peru.\u003c\/div\u003e - Florence E.

Clearly and beautifully written, Amy Cox Hall has grounded her study in long-term, ethical, and engaged ethnographic and archival research. It offers a significant contribution to scholarly work on food, gender, and race in Peru. It also offers a powerful corrective to dominant narratives about food and cuisine in Peru. This book draws you in, holds on, and does not let go.\u003c\/div\u003e - María Elena García, University of Washington, author of Gastropolitics and the Specter of Race: Stories of Capital, Culture, and Coloniality in Peru\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn exploration of gender, race, and food in Peru in the 1950s and 1960s and today.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the late 1940s to the mid 1960s, Peru's rapid industrialization and anti-communist authoritarianism coincided with the rise of mass-produced cookbooks, the first televised cooking shows, glossy lifestyle magazines, and imported domestic appliances and foodstuffs. Amy Cox Hall's \u003ci\u003eThe Taste of Nostalgia \u003c\/i\u003euses taste as a thematic and analytic thread to examine the ways that women, race, and the kitchen were foundational to Peruvian longings for modernity, both during the Cold War and today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on interviews, personal stories, media images, and archival and ethnographic research, Cox Hall considers how elite, European-descended women and the urban home were central to Peru's modernizing project and finds that all women who labored within the deeply racialized and gendered world of food helped set the stage for a Peruvian food nationalism that is now global in the twenty-first century. Cox Hall skillfully connects how the sometimes-unsavory tastes of the past are served again in today's profitable and pervasive gastronostalgia that helps sell Peru and its cuisine both at home and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e List of Illustrations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Excerpt: A \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction: Mise en Place \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Excerpt: B \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chapter 1: Hemispheric Tastes \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Excerpt: C \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chapter 2: A Tasteful Home \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Excerpt: D \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chapter 3: Aftertaste \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Excerpt: Rosita RÍ\u003cbr\u003eos \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chapter 4: Blending Modern Taste \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Excerpt: E \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chapter 5: National Taste \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Excerpt: DulcerÍ\u003cbr\u003ea Santa Rosa \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chapter 6: Corporate Taste \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Excerpt: Blanca ChavÉ\u003cbr\u003ez \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chapter 7: A Taste of Home \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Excerpt: F and G \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Conclusion: Savoring Nostalgia \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Methodological Afterword \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Acknowledgments \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Notes \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e References \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Index \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52591020441880,"sku":"9781477330272","price":63.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-taste-of-nostalgia-women-race-and-culinary-longing-in-peru-hardback-9781477330272","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
