How the Other Half Ate: A History of Working-Class Meals at the Turn of the Century (California Studies in Food and Culture Book 48)

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, working-class Americans had eating habits that were distinctly shaped by jobs, families, neighborhoods, and the tools, utilities, and size of their kitchensâ€”along with their cultural heritage. How the Other Half Ate is a deep exploration by historian and lecturer Katherine Turner that delivers an unprecedented and thoroughly researched study of the changing food landscape in American working-class families from industrialization through the 1950s.

Relevant to readers across a range of disciplinesâ€”history, economics, sociology, urban studies, womenâ€™s studies, and food studiesâ€”this work fills an important gap in historical literature by illustrating how families experienced food and cooking during the so-called age of abundance. Turner delivers an engaging portrait that shows how Americaâ€™s working class, in a multitude of ways, has shaped the foods we eat today.
