Reconstructing ties among workers, consumers, scientists, and the state, Joshua Frens-String explores how Chileans across generations sought to center food security as a right of citizenship. In so doing, he deftly untangles the relationship between two of twentieth-century Chile's most significant political and economic processes: the fight of an emergent urban working class to gain reliable access to nutrient-rich foodstuffs and the state's efforts to modernize its underproducing agricultural countryside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This highly readable and engaging narrative is suitable both for experts in Latin American and food history and for students looking to learn more about food politics and modern Chile.\" * Hispanic American Historical Review *\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a very readable book, an important contribution to understanding Chilean history, and a valuable addition to the relatively thinly populated field of the history of technology in Latin America.\" * Technology and Culture *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Building a Revolutionary Appetite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part One: A Hungry Nation\u003cbr\u003e 1 • Worlds of Abundance, Worlds of Scarcity\u003cbr\u003e 2 • Red Consumers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part Two: Containing Hunger\u003cbr\u003e 3 • Controlling for Nutrition\u003cbr\u003e 4 • Cultivating Consumption\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part Three: Recipes for Change\u003cbr\u003e 5 • When Revolution Tasted Like Empanadas and Red Wine\u003cbr\u003e 6 • A Battle for the Chilean Stomach\u003cbr\u003e 7 • Barren Plots and Empty Pots\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue: Counterrevolution at the Market\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Key Acronyms and Terms in Chilean Food History\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862657433943,"sku":"9780520343368","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780520343368.jpg?v=1759918409","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hungry-for-revolution-the-politics-of-food-and-the-making-of-modern-chile-9780520343368","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
