In this volume the authors make use of ethnographic examples collected within and beyond the boundaries of China to demonstrate the theoretical relevance of Chinese-inspired foodways, tastes, and consumption.
"This is an excellent collection, ethnographically... It is a real qualitative leap upward in the richness and detail of Chinese food ethnography! We have previously had many general works but few richly detailed studies of local ways, let alone of the transformations of Chinese food as it wanders around the world." --- E. N. Anderson, University of California, Riverside
"The book offers helpful insights into the processes of the globalization of Chinese culture and identity, the connectedness by food and consumption of a deterritorialized and translocal community." --- Ing-Britt Trankell, Uppsala University
