This Monograph collects a variety of articles that take food to analyze social change. By spotting food, they explore transformations at the level of structures and institutions, groups and social movements, and the role of agents, both from elite and the grassroots, explaining complex social dynamics. Offering a mix of country-specific case studies and engaging with key concepts and discussions, this Monograph covers social change in nutritional transitions over large historical periods; in renewed processes of nation-building and through food cultures; in disputes over food risks and the legitimacy of knowledge in food politics; in the transformation of food and nutrition into medicines; in social movements and social innovations that expand concepts of justice to include food justice; in the raising consciousness of social, cultural, historical, and environmental impacts of everyday culinary practices, which might lead to emergent changes in values and cultures; and in the transformation of food practices as self-care and lifestyle. The collection is purposefully multi-disciplinary, bringing together scholars from sociology, anthropology and multi-disciplinary fields such as gender studies, STS, and collective health. A collective endeavor towards a global sociology of food is still a major challenge, and this Monograph takes a few steps in this direction, by inviting contributions from, with, and about the Global South, exploring food worldwide and in diverse socio-political contexts.
