French Beans and Food Scares
In France, many of the “French” beans come from Africa, just as do many of the baby
“Asian” vegetables in British supermarkets. French Beans and Food Scares goes
behind the scenes of two transnational trades in extreme freshness. Part history,
part cross-continental reportage, it shows how culture and power shape what
global food means not only to consumers, but also to the people who grow,
ship and sell it.
"Freidberg's theoretical insights and vivid narrative make this a fascinating study, a thoughtful and historically sophisticated look into contemporary food systems. This book is essential reading, and sets a new standard for scholars of agriculture, food and globalization."
Deborah Fitzgerald, Professor of History and Technology, MIT Program in Science, Technology and Society
"A genuine contribution to the ever-expanding field of food studies."
Sidney W. Mintz, Research Professor of Anthropology, Johns Hopkins University
“Anyone who cares about the past and future of globalized food should read this compelling book."
Judith Carney, Professor of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles
