«Bueno para comer: enigmas de alimentación y cultura» is an essay by Marvin Harris published by Alianza Editorial (paperback, 351 pages, in Spanish).
The anthropologist Marvin Harris studies why each culture accepts certain foods and rejects others, and what practical, economic, and political logic lies behind those customs. His analysis shows that food and culture are closely linked, and proposes reviewing our own table habits from an anthropological perspective.
Aimed at readers interested in anthropology and the relationship between culture and food.
Marvin Harris was an American anthropologist. He was born in Brooklyn, New York City. A prolific writer, he was highly influential in the development of cultural materialism. In his work, he combined Karl Marx's emphasis on the forces of production with Thomas Malthus's insights on the impact of demographic factors on other parts of the sociocultural system.
