About the Author
Signe Rousseau teaches at the University of Cape Town, South
Africa, and is the author of Food Media: Celebrity Chefs and the
Politics of Everyday Interference (2012).
This brief book illustrates how social media (Twitter, Facebook,
and Yelp, among other sites) have strongly influenced food culture.
Rousseau (Univ. of Cape Town, South Africa; Food Media, 2012)
invites readers to participate in a multilayered discussion of a
wide range of issues related to the topic. These include plagiarism
and copyright/fair use issues, restaurant reviews and the ethics of
reviewing food establishments, marketing ethics, research
strategies to locate authoritative recipes, and health information.
This discourse is an entertaining, accessible analysis of an
ordinary occurrence: sharing food with others through cyberspace.
It is an incredibly engaging, fast read for such a dense,
well-researched text. Foodies and academics in many disciplines
will appreciate this book; it is also suitable for general readers,
students, and anyone in the restaurant/hospitality industries.
Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels of students, general
readers, researchers/faculty, and professionals.
