505 0  The value of food in rural China -- Labor -- Memory -- 
       Exchange -- Morality -- Conviviality. 
520    "Less than a half century ago, China experienced a 
       cataclysmic famine, which was particularly devastating in 
       the countryside. For older people in rural areas, food now
       symbolizes everything from misery and extreme want to 
       relative abundance. Young people, on the other hand, have 
       a different relationship to food. Many young rural Chinese
       are migrating to rapidly industrializing cities for work, 
       happy to leave behind the backbreaking labor associated 
       with peasant agriculture. Bitter and Sweet examines the 
       role of food in one rural Chinese community, as it has 
       shaped everyday lives over the course of several 
       tumultuous decades. In her superb ethnographic accounts, 
       Ellen Oxfeld compels us to reexamine some of the dominant 
       frameworks that have permeated recent scholarship on 
       contemporary China, work that describes increasing 
       dislocation and individualism and a lack of moral 
       centeredness. By using food as our lens, we see a more 
       complex picture, one in which connectedness and sense of 
       place continue to play an important role, even in the 
       context of rapid change."--Provided by publisher.
