Food Across Borders

"A 'Taco Truck on Every Corner'? Well organized and well written, Food Across Borders takes a broad inter-ethnic, transnational, and transhemispheric approach to its subject. The book is a welcome reminder and fresh interpretation of the central role that food plays in American politics and society at every level from production to consumption." - José M. Alamillo (author of Making Lemonade out of Lemons: Mexican American Labor and Leisure in a California Town) "This important volume reminds us that eating necessarily involves the movement of foodstuffs, meanings, and bodies across borders, both intimate and geopolitical, and that 'building a wall' is no solution." - Julie Guthman (author of Agrarian Dreams: The Paradox of Organic Farming in California) "Essays on such topics as negotiating nostalgia in family-owned and small-scale Mexican restaurants in the United States."
