    [NT 51398] Summary: "Explores the importance of cooking and eating in the everyday social life of Hoi An, a properous market town in central Vietclm known for its exceptionally elaborate and sophisticated local cuisine. In a vividand highly personal account, Nir Avieli takes the reader from the private setting of the extended family meal into the public realm of the festive, extraordinary, and unique. He showshow foodways relate to classrelations, gender roles, religious practices, cosmology, ethnicity, andeven local and national politics. This evocative study departs from conventional anthropological research on food by stressing the rich meanings, generative capacities, and potential subversion embedded in foodways and eating."--Publisher's description
