Fabio Parasecoli identifies and defines the phenomenon of "gastronativism," the ideological use of food to advance ideas about who belongs to a community and who does not. Featuring a wide array of examples from all over the world, this book is a timely, incisive, and lively analysis of how and why food has become a powerful political tool.

Fabio Parasecoli is professor of food studies in the Nutrition and Food Studies Department at New York University. He is the author of Food (2019), coauthor of Feasting Our Eyes: Food Films and Cultural Identity in the United States (Columbia, 2016), and coeditor of Global Brooklyn: Designing Food Experiences in World Cities (2021), among other books.
