Raw and Undercooked
There are faint whiffs of spring lavender from the campus landscaped gardens as we enter the older of Durham University’s business school buildings. Inside, it smells of nothing. We weave around the inner hallway on the second floor to find our seminar room masquerading as a corporate boardroom. There are large glass windows on one wall so meeting participants can glimpse the courtyard and lavender bushes below. On the other wall, there are scree…
At the Table’s Edge
On December 6, 2024, Gastronomica’s Editorial Collective met at Victoria College, the University of Toronto, for our annual members meeting. As part of the program, we organized a special roundtable on commensality, a topic often engaged by journal contributors. Proposed by H. Rosi Song, the theme of commensality is as much to do with whom we eat as with whom we don’t eat. Likewise, commensality’s inclusions and exclusions do not only implicate t…
Vintage 2050
Like Gastronomica, grapes follow yearly cycles. Vintages, like volumes, evolve from year to year. Over its quarter century, Gastronomica has examined wine’s lessons for broad questions of labor, environment, and taste. In 2003, for example, Robert Pincus published an early warning about how “the changing climate will affect wine production” (Pincus 2003: 87). Twenty years later, I examined how long histories of climate ruination in northern Italy…
Driven to Drink
This essay argues that cafés peddle in drug foods. Understood as nonnutritious foods, drinks, and narcotics that are consumed for reasons of medical/physical need and stimulation, drug foods, in interaction with the very architecture of the café, lubricate sociability and, in turn, politics

Well Rooted
Where does a great recipe begin? In the mind of the chef? In the heart of a cuisine? In the archive? Or, perhaps, in a collaboration between those whose job it is to cook food and those who study its many aspects? Bulrush restaurant in St. Louis doesn’t have Rob Connoley’s name on it and, in many ways, that’s a reflection of how he cooks. Connoley is from St. Louis, Missouri, with family roots in the Ozarks going back to the 1840s and personal ro…
Making Sense of Empire
I don’t think I have ever assigned a Presidential address to my students as much as I have Andrew J. Rotter’s 2010 SHAFR talk. He modestly called it “field notes”; my students have identified it as a methodological challenge to consider the five senses in writing comparative histories of empire. To many of us looking for new ways of understanding the connections between imperial knowledge, race science, and the ordinary life of empire, he raised …
Dipping in the common sauce pot
Over the course of the 20th century, Singapore was divided about where, how, what, and by whom street foods, especially satay, should be sold. Even if satay and hawking were a critical part of culinary infrastructure, municipal and colonial/post-colonial elites defined street hawking as a problem. The dispute, a contest over the use of streets and the meanings of street foods in the colonial and later postcolonial city, boils down to the common s…

Sweated Work, Weak Bodies
In the early 1900s, thousands of immigrants labored in New Yorks Lower East Side sweatshops, enduring work environments that came to be seen as among the worst examples of Progressive-Era American industrialization. Although reformers agreed that these unsafe workplaces must be abolished, their reasons have seldom been fully examined. Sweated Work, Weak Bodies is the first book on the origins of sweatshops, exploring how they came to represent th…
The Taste of Empire
Everybody was boodle fighting
This article examines how Toronto’s Filipina/o food establishments have engaged with military practices of eating together across rank through the boodle fight, in which diners eat with their hands, sharing heaps of rice and viands on a central table covered in banana leaves. It asks: what negotiations do urban ethnic restauranteurs make with the Philippines’ history of US imperialism and militarism when they advertise and host boodle fights in t…
The Delectable and Dangerous
The durian, for turn of the twentieth century Euro-American travelers in Southeast Asia, seemed a strange fruit – exotic, but unattainable in metropolitan centers. Durian was different than the banana, for example. Colonial companies never grew them in plantations. Even if durians crowded marketplaces from Singapore to Sumatra, the business remained in the hands of native peoples. The fruit matters because the peoples and animals who lived in Mal…

The Animal Game
Making the Empire Work
Millions of laborers, from the Philippines to the Caribbean, performed the work of the United States empire. Forging a global economy connecting the tropics to the industrial center, workers harvested sugar, cleaned hotel rooms, provided sexual favors, and filled military ranks. Placing working men and women at the center of the long history of the U.S. empire, these essays offer new stories of empire that intersect with the “grand narratives” of…

Perils of Degeneration
This article focuses on settlement house work and social reform as efforts to reconcile concerns about the survival of the unfit with the desire for reform and charity. Self-described progressives regarded themselves as shaping the evolution of the race and their work as an expression of civilization. While the social history of reform is rich, historians know less about its intellectual underpinnings. This article shifts the focus from the metho…

Economic and Social Security and Substandard Working Conditions
Sweatshop Subjectivity and The Politics of Definition and Exhibition
When factory inspectors first used the word “sweatshop” at the turn-of-the-last century, they sought to describe much more than the cramped garment workplaces where immigrants labored. They also tried to explain the social dangers posed by these workplaces. Inspectors relied on their sensory responses. Citing odors as evidence, inspectors united fears of poverty, pestilence, and promiscuity in their definition of the sweatshop. Clothing produced …
