Notes: This seminar takes an interdisciplinary approach to the understanding of food and food issues in Latin America. Latin America contributed many domesticates to the world, including such staples as corn and potatoes. At the same time, the cultural diversity of the region is reflected in the rich array of foods, and social, political and identity issues are tied to this culinary variety. Food, which usually is associated with nutrition and physical well-being, has a significant social function. Patterns of food preparation and consumption vary enormously among cultural groups, and are often telling of historical and social realities. Political, economic and international forces also play a role in food issues, as the poverty and malnutrition, chronic problems of the region, are related to food availability, policies of food production and distribution, and food security issues. This seminar will examine these important aspects of food in Latin America.
