Food, Foodways and Foodscapes ─ Culture, Community and Consumption in Post-Colonial Singapore

Social scientists explore cultural and community aspects of food and eating in Singapore during the half century since British rule ended. Among their topics are taking the street out of street food, Singapore's "snackscapes," the kopitiam in Singapore: an evolving story about cultural diversity and cultural politics, mapping Singapore's culinary landscape: whether anyone is cooking, and from sushi in Singapore to laksa in London: globalizing foodways and the production of economy and identity.
