A decade ago, chop suey, sushi, curry, adobo, and kimchi were emblematic of Asian American culinary influence. Today, boba, ube, bibingka, phở, matcha, gochujang, and málà have joined the roster of foods strongly associated with Asian Americans. These foods were once considered exotic but now are embraced by mainstream culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFood studies continues to be an appetizing area of Asian American studies. \u003ci\u003eEating More Asian America\u003c\/i\u003e is a follow-up to the influential \u003ci\u003eEating Asian America\u003c\/i\u003e, and it provides a rich illustration of the intersection of Asian America and its various foodways. The book posits that food is never simply sustenance--the comestible material that provides fuel for our bodies. Rather, food is a way of knowing, a way of being, and a way of understanding. The essays in \u003ci\u003eEating More Asian America\u003c\/i\u003e convey the intellectual richness of various foodways as they intersect with and inform the racial and political construct known as \"Asian America.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe twenty-one essays in this volume reflect the diversity of Asian America itself as well as the subfield of food studies. The volume not only offers coverage in terms of topics and types of ethnic food, it also provides a rich and impressive array of methodological approaches. A veritable feast for the senses, \u003ci\u003eEating More Asian America\u003c\/i\u003e explores the myriad ways critical eating studies has developed over the past decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Ji-Song Ku (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eRobert Ji-Song Ku\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Asian and Asian American Studies at Binghamton University and the Managing Editor of \u003ci\u003eFoundations and Futures: Asian American and Pacific Islander Multimedia Textbook\u003c\/i\u003e of the Asian American Studies Center at UCLA.
