- This monograph offers a global history of one of the world’s most important foodstuffs, as well as a fresh account of how eating became part of modern statecraft. It draws on eight years of research in seven languages, as well as a wide network of collaborators both within and outside the academy. It traces the interconnections between everyday diets, public health, peasant agriculture, and governance across five centuries and over six continents. It thus represents the outcome of an extended and complex piece of research that offers new perspectives on a wide range of topics.
