When you consider the size of Korea's population and the breadth of its territory, it's easy to see that this small region has played a disproportionately large role in twentieth-century history. The peninsula has experienced colonial submission at the hands of Japan, occupation by the United States and the Soviet Union, war, and a national division that continues today. Cuisine, Colonialism and Cold War traces these developments as they played out in an unusual sphere: Korea's national cuisine, When you consider the size of Korea's population and the breadth of its territory, it's easy to see that this small region has played a disproportionately large role in twentieth-century history. The peninsula has experienced colonial submission at the hands of Japan, occupation by the United States and the Soviet Union, war, and a national division that continues today. Cuisine, Colonialism and Cold War traces these developments as they played out in an unusual sphere: Korea's national cuisine, which is savored for its diversity of ingredients and flavor. Katarzyna J. Cwiertka shows that many foods and dietary practices identified as Korean have been created or influenced by its colonial encounters, and she uncovers how the military and the Cold War had an impact on diet in both the North and South. Surveying the manufacture and consumption of rice and soy sauce, the rise of restaurants, wartime food, and the 1990s famine that still affects North Korea, Cwiertka illuminates the persistent legacy of Japanese rule and the consequences of armed conflicts and the Cold War. Bringing us closer to the Korean people and their daily lives, this book shines new light on critical issues in the social history of this peninsula.

i» Throughout the twentieth century Korea has played a disproportionately important role in world history, in relation to the size of its population and breadth of its territory.Forced from the margins to the centre of the world economy, the peninsula has experienced colonial submission, occupation, war, and national division that continues to the present day.Cuisine, Colonialism and Cold War traces these developments as they are played out in the everyday details of Korea's national cuisine which is savoured the world over for its diversity of ingredients and flavours.By looking at twentieth-century Korea through the lens of its distinctive food culture, this book brings us closer to the real people and their lives, as they are moulded by sweeping forces of history.Katarzyna J. Cwiertka demonstrates that dietary practices generally identified as 'Korean' have often been created via colonial encounters or greatly influenced by colonial legacies.She also illustrates how the militarized actuality of Cold War has further determined the trajectory of dietary change on the peninsula, both in the South and in the North.The scope of Cuisine, Colonialism and Cold War extends beyond purely dietary concerns, however.It sheds light on critical issues in Korean social history, illuminating the covert but persistent legacy of Japanese rule in Korea and the culinary consequences of armed conflicts and Cold War.The book has much to say to anthropologists and food historians, as well as the general reader interested in global history and Korean culture and society.; EPUB \ Anthony de Mello; History & Transport > Humamities, The Columba Press<
