Abstract
Food studies has become institutionally mainstreamed, with PhD programmes,
dedicated appointments in areas such as global food history, and a raft of methodological
guides. Given Singapore’s cultural position at the intersection of imperial history
and multiculturalism and its geographical position as a major equatorial port city connected to complex Indian Ocean and imperial trade networks, it comes as no surprise
that there has also been increased scholarly interest in the study of food in this
important city-state. Food, foodways and foodscapes: Culture, community and consumption
in post-colonial Singapore reflects this growing engagement.
