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 ----- Original message ----- From: Debra Jackson9 <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: recommendations for work on food and cultural identity Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2015 14:00:28 -0800 Hello everyone, I am looking for recommendations of philosophical approaches to thinking about the relations between food and cultural identity.
