Eating Asian America: A Food Studies Reader
October 24, 2013 | 6:30 p.m.
19 West 4th Street, Manhattan

Join Eating Asian America editors Robert Ji-Song Ku, Martin F. Manalansan IV, Anita Mannur and contributors Nina F. Ichikawa, Heidi Kim and Zohra Saed as they discuss their new book with Krishnendu Ray, MA ’95, PhD ’01 (Chair of the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, NYU Steinhardt) alongside some of the most prominent figures in Asian American food.
About the Book

A collection of burgeoning new scholarship on the study of foodways and culinary practices, Eating Asian America brings into dialogue the proliferation of Cambodian doughnut shops in Los Angeles with the politics of school lunch in Hawai’i with the history of Kikkoman soy sauce with the rise of the Asian American hipster food trucks and more. In a refusal to yield to the superficial multiculturalism that naively celebrates difference through the pleasures of food and eating, the volume reveals the class, racial, ethnic, sexual and gender inequalities that pervade and persist in the production, distribution and consumption of Asian American cuisine.

This event is presented by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at New York University and NYU Press and co-sponsored by the Binghamton University Asian and Asian American Alumni Council, the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, NYU Steinhardt, The Institute for Asia and Asian Diasporas and the Department of Asian and Asian American Studies at Binghamton University, and the Asian/Pacific/American Studies Program in the Department of Social & Cultural Analysis, NYU.

Register online at the A/P/A website. The registration deadline is Thursday, October 22. If you have questions, please contact Leah Joggerst.
