About
An interdisciplinary study of the cultural meaning and uses of food in India and Sri Lanka, drawing on the abundant commentary by saints, ritualists, poets, and the divine, in both religious and literary contexts. The eight papers, some from a January 1985 conference, Food Systems and Communications Structures, in Mysore, India, focus on the long-term, wide spread significance of food, rather than on caste differences, changing diets, or a comparison between Hindu and Buddhist approaches. Includes a glossary without pronunciation. Paper edition (unseen), $17.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
