Anthropology of Food

Anthropology of Food. For the midterm essay, you will respond to the following questions, each based on the section modules and readings we have discussed in class: Define social justice. What connections can you identify between social justice, and food? Think of the case of street vendors in NYC, the differences between ‘Small Business Owners’ and ‘Street vendors’, and issues of race, ethnicity, and migration.

How can we distinguish between “luxury” and “necessity”? Define both concepts and highlight some of the examples Bourdieu mentions in his chapter. The length for this response paper will be 3-4 double-spaced pages, letter size 12, Times New Roman.
