Building and expanding on the first edition, the second edition of Food, National Identity and Nationalism continues to explore a much-neglected area study: the relationship between food and nationalism. With a preface written by Michaela DeSoucey and using a wide range of case studies, it demonstrates that food and nationalism is an important area to study, and that the food-nationalism axis provides a useful prism through which to explore and analyse the world around us, from the everyday to the global, and the ways in which it affects us. The second edition includes a number of new case studies, including the demise and resurrection of pie as a `national dish¿ in post-Brexit Britain, the use of netnography, the role of diasporas in maintaining and reinventing national food, the gastrodiplomatic potential of the New Nordic Cuisine, the potential of veganism to transcend nationalism, and the relationship between gastronationalism and populism.Ronald Ranta is a senior lecturer in politics and international relations in the Department of Criminology, Politics and Sociology, Kingston University, UK, and a former chef.
