Stanley, B: Precarious Eating Narrating Environmental Harm in the Global South

"Precarious Eating is a richly theorized, beautifully written, and politically urgent book. As Ben Jamieson Stanley brilliantly demonstrates, contemporary South African and Indian fiction speaks to food justice and climate change by representing famine and agricultural labor, cuisine and consumption, and water scarcity and purity politics. This eloquent and timely study advances the vital role of food studies within the environmental humanities."-Catherine Keyser, author of Artificial Color: Modern Food and Racial Fictions

"Precarious Eating stages a thought-provoking conversation across the fields of food studies, postcolonial thought, and ecocriticism centered on the global South. Scholars of topics as varied as hunger and famine, food commodities, the environmentalism of the poor, and the tangled politics of ethical eating will find much to admire in this book."-Parama Roy, author of Alimentary Tracts: Appetites, Aversions, and the Postcolonial
