&Foodways
Food
and Foodways is a refereed, interdisciplinary, and international
journal devoted to publishing original scholarly articles on the history
and culture of human nourishment. By reflecting on the role food plays
in human relations, this unique journal explores the powerful but often
subtle ways in which food has shaped, and shapes, our lives socially,
economically, politically, mentally, nutritionally, and morally. Because
food is a pervasive social phenomenon, it cannot be approached by any
one discipline. We encourage articles that engage dialogue, debate, and
exchange across disciplines. Food and Foodways publishes work
by anthropologists, biologists, economists, ethnobotanists, historians,
literary critics, nutritionists, psychologists, sociologists, and others
who use food as a lens of analysis. We also seek review essays or short
topical pieces that are provocative and problematic in nature.
For members of ASFS to subscribe to Food and Foodways for the greatly
reduced subscription price of $33 per year, they can simply call our toll
free customer service number, 1-800-354-1420, Ext. 216, or email our customer
service department.
