This book is a far-reaching exploration of what
Heldke calls 'food adventuring': the passion, fashion and pursuit of the experimentation with ethnic foods. Exotic Appetites brings to the table the critical literatures on colonialism and anticolonialism, on racism and antiracism, and on feminist theory, in a provocative discussion of eating and 'ethnic' food.
