Wu and Tan Chee-beng, Changing Chinese Foodways in Asia examines Chinese food and the culture of food consumption in East and Southeast Asia. Through the lens of food, the authors address recent theories in social science concerning cultural identity, ethnicity, boundary formation, consumerism and globalization, and the invention of local cuisine in the context of rapid culture change. Written by distinguished anthropologists with years of research experience in their respective countries and regions, this book shows how human preparation and consumption of food carry important social, economic, political, and spiritual meanings. The book is a collection of 12 research articles on topics including the dietary culture of Chaoshan inhabitants, the changing foodways of a village in the Pearl River Delta, Hong Kong's yumcha tradition, cha chaan ting (Chinese cafe), Hakka restaurants, food restrictions in pregnancy among Hong Kong mothers, food and ethnicity of the Chinese in Malaysia and Singapore, Chinese food in Korea, domestication of ramen and the Peking duck in Japan, breakfasting in Taipei, and pork-eating habits in Asia.
