Racial Indigestion: Eating Bodies in the 19th Century - America and the Long 19th Century
Kyla Wazana Tompkins
Explores the links between food, visual and literary culture in the nineteenth-century United States to reveal how eating produces political subjects by justifying the social discourses that create bodily meaning. This is the story of the consolidation of nationalist mythologies of whiteness via the erotic politics of consumption.
