by Mark Swislocki (Author)
This book argues that regional food culture is intrinsic to how Chinese connect to the past, live in the present, and imagine their future. It focuses on Shanghai-a food lover's paradise-and identifies the importance of regional food culture at pivotal moments in the city's history, and in Chinese history more generally.
