Food, Power, and Resistance in the Andes: Exploring Quechua Verbal and Visual Narratives

By Alison Krogel and Alison Krögel

Book Overview

Food, Power, and Resistance explores the ways in which artistic representations of food and cooks often convey subversive meanings that resist attempts to locate indigenous Andeans-and Quechua women in particular-at the margins of power. This book offers a dynamic, interdisciplinary study of how food's symbolic and pragmatic meanings influence access to power and the possibility of resistance in the colonial and contemporary Andes.
