商品簡介
Ayora-Diaz (anthropology, Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan) examines the regional cuisine of the Yucatan as an essential ingredient of the identity of the region's indigenous people and as a form of cultural resistance to the dominant culture of Mexico and the homogenizing power of nationalist ideologies. The book first gives background on the historical processes shaping national and regional conditions in Central America and Latin America as a whole, then focuses on the urban foodscape in Merida and the interaction of local and global markets of ethnic foods. The book includes a glossary of recipes and a list of Mexican and Yucatan cookbooks. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
