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. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on May 23, 2017). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 21st century|2fast 648 7 2000-2099|2fast 650 0 Food supply|zChina.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008103998 650 0 Food consumption|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85050268|zChina.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79091151-781 650 0 Rural families|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85115912|zChina.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79091151-781 650 0 Urbanization|zChina.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008113138 650 0 Agriculture|xEconomic aspects|zChina|xHistory|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009114368|y21st century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002012478 650 7 Food supply.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/931196 650 7 Food consumption.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 930721 650 7 Rural families.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1101623 650 7 Urbanization.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1162722 650 7 Agriculture|xEconomic aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/801415 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 7 China.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1206073 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aOxfeld, Ellen, 1953-|tBitter and sweet. |dOakland, California : University of California Press, [2017]|z9780520293519|w(DLC) 2016048660 830 0 California studies in food and culture ;|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n00006023|v63. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1510308|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
