How the Other Half Ate is a deep exploration of the changing food landscape in American working-class families from industrialization through the 1950s. Relevant to students across a range of disciplines-history, economics, sociology, urban studies, women's studies, and food studies- Dr. Turner's work illustrates how families experienced food and cooking during the so-called age of abundance and shows how America's working class, in a multitude of ways, has shaped the foods we eat today. Dr. Turner took questions and signed copies of her book after her talk. For more information, visit: http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520277588
