Drawing on critical ethnic studies and queer studies, Mannur traces the ways in which people of color, queer people, and other marginalized subjects create and sustain this belonging through the formation of "intimate eating publics." These spaces-whether taking place in online communities or eating alone in a restaurant-blur the line between public and private. In analyses of Julie Powell's Julie and Julia, Nani Power's Ginger and Ganesh, Ritesh Batra's film The Lunchbox, Michael Rakowitz's performance art installation "Enemy Kitchen," and the Great British Bakeoff, Mannur focuses on how racialized South Asian and Arab brown bodies become visible in various intimate eating publics. In this way, the culinary becomes central to discourses of race and other social categories of difference. By illuminating how cooking, eating, and distributing food shapes and sustains social worlds, Mannur reconfigures how we think about networks of intimacy beyond the family, heteronormativity, and nation"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on print version record Subject Food habits -- Cross-cultural studies Food -- Social aspects Food habits -- Social aspects Asian Americans -- Food South Asians -- Food Asian Americans -- Social life and customs South Asians -- Social life and customs Cooking, Asian -- Social aspects SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / American / Asian American Studies.
