Description
In "Eating Korean in America: Gastronomic Ethnography of Authenticity", Sonia Ryang applies the ethnographic approach to explore the world of Korean food across four American locations, Iowa City, Baltimore, Los Angeles, and Hawaii. Drawing upon her firsthand experiences and observations, Ryang explores the interconnections between food, colonial histories, ethnic displacements, and global capitalism, as well as encouraging readers to think about the complex layers of authenticity and cultural identity in the food we eat.
