Gender and Food in Transnational East Asias places the relationship between food and gender in cross-cultural, cross-regional, and transnational contexts in order to identify how global politics, economy, and culture influence gender dynamics; and maintain or shift the existing gender hierarchy, inequality, and sexual behavior.
Gender and Food in Transnational East Asias illustrates how the production and consumption of food impacts the changing social positions of individuals and their relationships with their families, the state, and their work, as well as shapes their gender, sexual, ethnic, and national identities. The transnational movement of food and people between East Asia and the rest of the world is increasingly visible, forming various forces behind the cultural and political constructions of gender politics among and beyond Asian diasporas. It argues that a critical engagement with practices and representations of food from gender perspectives can enhance our understanding of the society and culture of transnational East Asia.
