Each chapter approaches the topic from a different theoretical lens. The results are a series of deep and multifaceted looks at this endlessly fascinating and complex food. * E. Melanie DuPuis, Pace University, USA, and author of Nature's Perfect Food (2002) *\u003cbr\u003eMilk is a political issue. These eloquent essays reveal the contentious cultural, economic, and symbolic meanings of milk from the middle ages to the posthuman world. They are a riveting account of a fluid that many of us take for granted. I was enchanted, shocked, and intrigued. * Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck, University of London, UK. *\u003cbr\u003eOf the many foods ingested by humans, milk is the most laden with significance, as well as the most biochemically complex. This collection explores these layers of meaning from political, economic, environmental, symbolic and spiritual perspectives — encompassing the milk of humans, other animals, and plants. Each essay is a thoughtful provocation which reframes our understanding of this profoundly relational substance and increases our respect for those who produce it. * Fiona Giles, University of Sydney, Australia, and author of Fresh Milk: The Secret Life of Breasts (2003) *\u003cbr\u003eA welcome addition to strong cultural scholarship of milk.
