The question receives fascinating and multifaceted answers in this book, which considers a smorgasbord of dishes that sustain group identity and often help to bridge intergroup barriers. \u003cbr\u003e The essays explore the symbolic meaning of shared foodways in interpreting inter- and intragroup behavior, with attention to theoretical problems and the implications of foodways research for public policy. Topics receiving rewarding analysis in this volume include food festivals, modes of food preparation, meal cycles, seasonal celebrations, nutrition education, and the government's inattention to ethnic customs in formulating its food policies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Editors: Linda Keller Brown (1944-1984) specialized in developing American studies abroad.
