Summary:

Accessible to anthropology students of all levels, this volume on food, politics, and culture examines complex issues of food security and food rights within a variety of social contexts in the nation of Uzbekistan. Beginning with an overview of the recent history of the region and the creation of the state in the wake of the breakup of the Soviet Union, the work discusses topics such as urban classes and food security; rural food sovereignty; gender and food; ethnicity, nationalism and minorities; and Islam, hunger, and violence. Additional sections discuss comparative perspectives with American poverty and food insecurity. The work includes several black and white photographs. Rosenberger is a professor of anthropology at Oregon State University. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
