Description
Book SynopsisThe contributors to Eating beside Ourselves examine eating as a site of transfer and transformation that create thresholds for human and nonhuman relations.
Trade Review"This book offers both approachable case studies and provocations for academic conversation across disciplines, such as environmental and medical ethics or human geography and global justice. . . . Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals."
