"This is an original and thought-provoking book about practices and meanings of 'rewilding' food across Europe. Cases of hunting game, foraging in the countryside, dumpster-diving in the city, and producing 'natural' wine uncover how fascination with the wild highlights key moral, environmental, social, and health issues in contemporary eating practices."Carole Counihan, Editor-in-Chief, Food and Foodways"There is in the attraction for the 'wild' a will to break with the established order. This theme regularly reappears in current social life and has evolved according to historical contexts. 'Rewilding Food and the Self: Critical Conversations From Europe' focuses on the contemporary version and analyzes its current and timeless social issues."Jean-Pierre Poulain, Universite de Toulouse, France.
