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.
