Re-Imagining Milk (Routledge Series for Creative Teaching and Learning in Anthropology)

Re-Imagining Milk (Routledge Series for Creative Teaching and Learning in Anthropology) by Wiley, Andrea S.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780415806572.

Written explicitly for undergraduates, Re-imagining Milk demonstrates how a particular commodity can be used to illustrate ethnocentric beliefs about the universal goodness of milk; biological variation in human populations; political and economic processes that inform dietary policies, nutrition education, and current trends in globalization; the utility of a biocultural approach to the study of food; the cultural construction of a commodity that is consumed by many students on a daily basis, or if not, certainly is one that students "know" they "should" consume daily.
