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

Food, Power, and Resistance in the Andes: Exploring Quechua Verbal and Visual Narratives by Krogel, Alison. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780739147603.

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 foods symbolic and pragmatic meanings influence access to power and the possibility of resistance in the colonial and contemporary Andes.
