The Making of Mămăligă
Central European University Press (Verlag)
978-963-386-624-5 (ISBN)
The story of maize and mămăligă provides an accessible way to revisit many key questions of Romanian and broader regional history. More generally, the book links the history of production, consumption, and representation. Analyses of recipes, literary and popular depictions, and key vocabulary complete the work.
Alex Drace-Francis is Associate Professor of Modern European Cultural History at the University of Amsterdam.
