From a more cultural studies perspective there's the excellent *Racial
Indigestion: Eating Bodies in the 19th Century* by Kyla Wazana Tompkins.
She maintains a useful site about all things pertaining to the book
here: http://racialindigestion.tumblr.com

Also there's a great chapter in Lauren Berlant's *Cruel Optimism*, "Slow
Death (Obesity, Sovereignty, Lateral Agency)"

More "philosophical" texts include:

Susan Bordo, *Unbearable Weight: Feminism, Western Culture, and the Body
*(1993) (A classic)

Both of these are great too: Doris Witt – “What
(N)ever Happened to Aunt Jemima” Cressida Heyes – “Foucault Goes to
   Weightwatchers”

Hope this helps, Emma

Hello everyone,

I am looking for recommendations of philosophical approaches to
thinking about the relations between food and cultural identity. Thanks
for your time.
