      By Wong, Jan
       2017., Adult, Goose Lane Editions Call No: Bio W872a    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Jan Wong knows food is better when shared, so when she set out to write a book about home cooking in France, Italy, and China, she asked her 22-year-old son, Sam, to join her. While he wasn't keen on spending excessive time with his mom, he dreamed of becoming a chef. Ultimately, it was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. On their journey, Jan and Sam live and cook with locals, seeing how globalization is changing food, families, and cultures. In southeast France, they move in with a family sheltering undocumented migrants. From Bernadette, the housekeeper, they learn classic French family fare such as blanquette de veau. In a hamlet in the heart of Italy's Slow Food country, the locals teach them how to make authentic spaghetti alle vongole and a proper risotto with leeks. In Shanghai, they cook firecracker chicken and scallion pancakes with the nouveaux riches and their migrant maids, who are part of the biggest demographic shift in world history. Along the way, mother and son explore their sometimes-fraught relationship, uniting--and occasionally clashing--over their mutual love of cooking. A memoir about family, an exploration of the globalization of food cultures, and a meditation on the complicated relationships between mothers and sons, Apron Strings is complex, unpredictable, and unexpectedly hilarious.

This anthology, thus, uniquely situates current theory and activism in a rare historically-contextualized account of Canadian and global feminismsœ deepening engagement with these issues. Anyone concerned to understand Canadian and international neo-liberal policiesœ impact on women and womenœs growing understanding and resistance to these policies will be interested in this book. As well as womenœs studies courses, this collection will be an indispensable resource for teachers seeking globally-informed, gender, race, class, and Indigenous aware Canadian resources for the study of sociology, international development, environmental studies, political economy, womenœs human rights, labour studies, social policy, social work, international relations, migration/immigration, violence, poverty, militarism, colonialism and post-colonialism, social movements, global feminisms, peace, community organizing, sustainability and alternative possibilities.
