An in-depth investigation of the complex relationships among food, culture, and society, Communicating Food in Korea features contributors from a variety of disciplines, including economics, political science, communication studies, nutrition research, tourism research, and more. Each chapter presents a unique interpretation of food’s economic, political, and sociocultural relevance. Situated in Korea’s shifting historical contexts, contributors explore themes, such as colonialism, food symbolism, gastronationalism, multiculturalism, food tourism, food security, and food sovereignty to research the ways food intersects with social issues in Korean society.

This edited volume includes a baker's dozen of chapters by scholars at Korean and American institutions, organized around four major themes: moving from colonialism and hunger to food sovereignty; national cuisine in the era of globalization; food practices in multicultural Korea; and food tourism as related to food crisis. Because food and foodways can serve as a marker of social status and belong to the domain of customs and beliefs, as well as offering intersections with many other economic and political factors, this interdisciplinary work collects research from diverse fields including political science, communication studies, geography, and nutrition…the writing throughout is unmistakably scholarly[.] Recommended.
