1. Food studies is becoming increasingly popular in both conferences and in classrooms. This book explores the late Soviet era through food including: the anxieties around continual problems of scarcity, the luxury and prestige attached to certain items, and the creativity Soviet citizens applied to their provisioning and cooking.
2. The book is written with undergraduate audiences in mind and will have strong appeal for course adoption.
3. Darra Goldstein, a prominent scholar of Soviet food culture, will provide a preface for the volume. Brintlinger is an established academic with several monographs and edited collections to her credit. Lakhtikova and Gluschenko are earlier-career scholars with extensive teaching and research experience in the Russian émigré culture and Soviet food.
This essay anthology explores the intersection of gender, food and culture in post-1960s Soviet life from personal cookbooks to gulag survival.Seasoned Socialism considers the relationship between gender and food in late Soviet daily life, specifically between 1964 and 1985. Political and economic conditions heavily influenced Soviet life and foodways during this period and an exploration of Soviet women's central role in the daily sustenance for their families as well as the obstacles they faced on this quest offers new insights into intergenerational and inter-gender power dynamics of that time. Seasoned Socialism considers gender construction and performance across a wide array of primary sources, including poetry, fiction, film, women's journals, oral histories, and interviews. This collection provides fresh insight into how the Soviet government sought to influence both what citizens ate and how they thought about food.
