商品簡介
Cwiertka (Japanese and Korean studies, Leiden U., the Netherlands) and Walraven (Korean language and culture, Leiden U., the Netherlands) present nine papers which identify and explain a variety of links in the way that globalization influences the production and processing of food, as well as the way in which it is sold, prepared, and consumed. Illuminating themes such as the continuous tension between homogenization and heterogenization and the interconnectedness between the global and the local, the contributions explore the growth of milk products in Indonesia, South Asian ethnic tradition in the west of Scotland, wild-gathered foods as countercurrents to dietary globalization in South Korea, and the growth of Chinese and Indonesian restaurants in the Netherlands.
